The great thing about meeting other cruisers is that you find out about useful resources. My FB feed is full of sailing posts from various groups already, but it's getting even busier now. Apologies in advance for not necessarily interacting with friends' posts as much. #cruisers #sailingadventures #twoemuadventures #resources #cruisingresources

Good morning! View on the way back to the boat this morning, before too many people were about. #martinique #sunrise #twoemuadventures

The meat section is very different from anything we are used to, but for an island, Martinique is one of the better ones to get supplies. You can buy cold cuts & ham is very popular in the fridge section. Then ALL of your raw uncooked animal based proteins are frozen. Makes sense for a small island in a warm climate when you think about it. There's less food waste this way, too. There were only a couple of options for ground beef (which really just related to the amount in the bag) that we could pick from, which was just fine for us. The chili we made was delicious & was just what K2 wanted. #islandlife #frozenmeat #beef #reducewaste #twoemuadventures

Sitting in the laundry mat blowing more money..... $14.70 (converted to CAD) for one washing machine (for a 30 min wash) One kid is wearing one sock, because he has 2 mismatched gray socks & decided he would stick to wearing one in protest (don't even get me started on the sandals with socks thing) & I'm just wearing a crop top (basically a cotton sports bra) because it's hot & I'm internally protesting the fact that dudes can get around without a shirt without issue & sheepishly admit that all my cool tops need to be washed. 😂 #washingday #Martinique #twoemuadventures #sailingadventures

Advent Calendar is set up in the space where it will stay for the duration. We moved it slightly this morning so that it wasn't as obtrusive in the space. I made this one over a decade ago & the kids still love it. I've even sold a few over the years too We've had to adjust the activities slightly to accommodate the current climate (no snow/ cold weather focused activities) #twoemuadventures #adventcalendar #twoemucreations #caribbeanchristmas #sustainableliving #sustainable

We had what can only be described as a snack at Mango Bay, at the end of the dock, but it was a nice treat. Em is super keen to go to the beach, but I'm shattered & a bike ride that would be less than flat for 6kms each way is really not appealing, maybe tomorrow? 😂 #twoemuadventures #mango #treat #lemarin #martinique

Nearly 6am here The sun is coming up & the roosters on shore are calling. I've been awake for hours, contemplating far too much. #twoemuadventures #sailingadventures #martinique #caribbean #sunrise

The day I left on the 19th was crazy These two little scrappies were actually picked up a few hours before I left, destined for 2 excited girls. Life has been super crazy for months, with all the preparations for this adventure, so I haven't been able to sit & create a lot of fibre art, but I've loved the moments I have had. Now, as we sit in a holding pattern, I find myself without a lot of the supplies to create, but more time 😂 Life is so funny sometimes. Ah well, I'll figure it out... Side Note: I do have some of my scrappie critters at @theoddspotshop in Spencerville for anyone interested in them #twoemuadventures #twoemucreations #scrappiecritters #upcycling #fabricscraps #uniquelyimperfect #fibreart #fibreartist

Several years ago, I found an old Strawberry Shortcake sheet in an Op Shop. It was torn in several places. For a time, I used it for events to cover my stock when I went to multi day events. Then I stopped doing big events like comic con etc. It was only after I finished doing those big events that I actually took the time to mend this sheet, a sheet that brought back childhood memories, so my youngest could claim it as her own. She knows it isn't the one I had as a kid (at least I don't think it is, it would be funny if by chance it was, though). She just loves the idea of having something like what I did, when I was her age that I used to love that's now a part of both of us, because I mended it with some of her favourite fabric from my stash. I'm pretty happy to have it on board with us. Every time I see it, I smile. She loves that I brought it with us on the boat, too. Something familiar to wrap herself in. 🍓 🐞 #mending #repair #fabricrepair #visiblemending #twoemuadventures

There was a sheet with two strings attached that we found in with the linens, I'm not sure what it was used for before, but it works really well as some shade to block the sun. I think we might sit up on the deck for dinner. #sheet #shade #twoemuadventures #boatshade

We had a baby crab on our boat this morning. No luck in catching him, but it resulted in some much appreciated excitement. 🦀 #twoemuadventures #babycrab #crab
