beautiful film project

"Filmed in the Grenadines, Vanishing Sail tells the story of trading by sail in the West Indies, and follows a community of boat builders in Carriacou who struggle to maintain their tenuous grip on a dying skill. Through a collection of dramatic sailing scenes, rare archival footage and unprecedented interviews with the last old, Caribbean Sea Captains, Vanishing Sail seeks to preserve the legacy of boatbuilding in the Grenadines, first introduced by Scottish settlers in the 19th century. Crafted on the beach, with skills passed down the generations, these schooners and sloops worked the trade winds, fishing and carrying cargo - including contraband from St. Barthelemy where the smuggling trade in alcohol and cigarettes thrived until the 1970's." 

Support Antigua resident, yacht photographer and videographer Alexis Andrews to collect the funds needed to fulfill the production of this gorgeous movie. Preview above. You can check out Alexis kickstarter project here.

change of wind

Still having a "vacation".. back with you soon. Seems like some sailing plans may have changed a little, will tell more about them shortly.

break from work

I'm seeing this involuntary work/computer break as some sort of vacation and occuping mysef with other much needed activites. Organizing clothes and equipment onboard, throwing out things we don't make use of anymore, baking bread and cakes and together with Alex; planning for the next few months that are to come. Exciting times ahead for sure. Almost feels like when we were about to cast off from Barcelona in October 2010, thrilled as we were on our way to something new, sailing towards new horizons. Still some work on the boat to do before we're ready to leave, hoping to be done in the next 10-14 days or so. And yeah, my new macbook pro should arrive in the beggining of next week so I can get back and do some much important work before we leave this island, too.

Mansion Hotel
"The Mansion Hotel once belonged to one of Shanghai's most notorious gangsters before the Communists took over in 1949. But since the colonial-era villa was transformed into a hotel in 2007, visitors can relive the glory days of Shanghai's yesteryear." (Businessweek) Love it!

Summer Packages 2012
Summers are arriving at a quick pace this year and sitting in air-conditioned cafes and bars friends have already started planning for their Summer Packages for 2012.  With February end comes the end of exams too; while kids want to escape for a fun-filled trip the elders are excited about the salary increment that is to arrival in the coming months.  In a nutshell all these together make a perfect excuse for a holiday long awaited.  But, one should always pick wisely out of a gamut of options for summer packages. The things one must keep in mind in this regard are:
India Summer Packages
Planning Starts from Now: For example you wish to take a break from work during the summer vacation of your kids then you must start planning and making arrangements from January or February.  You must plan for a trip at least 3 or 4 months prior to the actual date of departure if you have to take a flight for the destination chosen.  This will help you attain cheapest rates on airfare.  Also, planning well ahead of time helps one book rooms at their desired property possible and that too at lower price.  

Summer Holidays Packages 2012
First Determine the Destination:  Your kids want to go to Goa and try water-sports, but you wouldn’t wish to leave your parents back at home just because they cannot travel that far; one has to face such dilemmas often while planning for summer holiday packages. One should thus take good amount of time in speculating the right destination for holiday.  
Summer Tours Packages 2012
If you further look into the matter you will find out that Rishikesh is the right place for you as it will be easy to travel to and can be covered in a weekend’s time; also your kids can enjoy river rafting here.  In this regards help of reputed tourist agents always comes as a great aid; for they have all the knowledge about the circuit and the themes to match up to every traveler’s travel requirements. 
Summer Vacation Packages 2012
Budget Your Trip: Instead of going with the flow, one must make a budget for the trip before making any reservations.  So, check your account first and accordingly make a budget that you can allow yourself to spend on your Summer packages 2012. This regulates your actions and helps in selecting kind of property for stay, list of things to do and more. This is done to make sure you don’t come home empty-handed after a remarkable trip.  

Summer Travel Packages 2012
Most Popular Summer Destinations in India: Finally, pick the destinations to escape sultry summers of your city.  In this context names of hills and beaches comes to the mind first. However, if you are living in northern region of the country, instead of heading for the renowned hill stations you should go check up lesser known regions such as Rohtang Pass, Kasaul, Auli or Ladakh; even though it is world-renowned, yet the mystique of Ladakh manages to enchant all its visitors.
Summer Packages 2012
You can also try out jungle safaris at pictorial national parks spread all around the country and witness wilds amidst their natural surroundings.  Beaches are another destinations which bring respite from furious summers in India.  Thus a quick visit to Goa or Kerala will indeed fuse new vigor in you; the effect of Ayurvedic massages or a simple suntan siesta at the beach can help rejuvenate all your jaded muscles.

The key for having a gala time on your vacation is to plan it wisely; pick the best travel agent possible, make your summer packages inclusive of all your favorite destinations and arrangements and a memorable trip is guaranteed.  So plan early, and get ready to flee the town for a journey of a lifetime.
