Surf Barbados by Bus
No car, no problem. For $2 Bajan ($1 US ), all of these surf spots are just a bus ride away.

Atlantic Ocean Crossing
On February 2nd, three of us set sail from Tenerife in the Canary Islands, Spain to Martinique in the Caribbean. It took a few days to get used to life at sea. Constant motion, cold weather (long underwear and fowlies), 15ft seas, 20-30 knot winds, night-watch from midnight to 4am, and precooked/simple meals. By day 5, we were dialed in. Highlights include learning to sail, fresh dorado (mahi mahi), dolphin & whale sightings, use of solar & windpower, daily fruit rations, swimming in 20,000 feet of water, no phone/internet, and trawling for plastic pollution. After 2,800 nautical miles, reaching land was bittersweet.

Tenerife, Canary Islands
On the 130 mile voyage from Lanzarote to Tenerife, I got a taste of what the future brings…. Crazy sailing vocabulary, lack of sleep, coffee, ramen noodles, and plenty of projects to keep me occupied. Right now I’m in Tenerife, finishing up last minute projects on the boat. Below are a few pics from my last surf sessions until we hit the Caribbean, approximately 3,000 nautical miles from here.
Frontside, finally.
Same wave, different angle, hours later. It connects all the way through.
Left or right?
If Ned were here, I would have considered paddling out.
