When two babies turn into 5, how do you find a boat to fit all of them?

We have two great news to share! Two weeks ago today, we welcomed this beautiful little girl to our family. We can’t get over how perfect she is. Kais and Lila cannot stop fighting on who gets to hold her next and we all agree that she is her Daddy’s twin. We love you so much already- Zoe. We’d also like to announce that we have officially sold SV Hatchi to a new family who will get to enjoy her as much as we did. We are in search of a bigger vessel to accommodate our growing family. We’re so excited about these changes and all the new adventures awaiting. Thank you to all who have followed us on our journey.

When Allyson Felix became pregnant, Nike was prepared to cut the terms of Felix's endorsement by as much as 70% due to the pregnancy, and told her to “know your place and just run.” 🤯

Amid all of this, she was forced to have an emergency c-section seven months into her pregnancy because of a potentially life-threatening condition and her baby had to live for more than a month in the NICU. But two years later she’s qualified for her fifth Olympics with her daughter watching.

Felix dropped Nike and created her own brand of running shoes, the Saysh One. She is currently running in the Olympics in Japan wearing them under the banner “I Know My Place”. 😏

With 11 medals now, she passed Carl Lewis this summer for the most track and field medals by an American in history!

"I used my voice and built this company for you. So that you never have to train at 4:30am while you're 5 months pregnant to hide your pregnancy from your sponsor.”

Lila is so attached to the new addition of SV Hatchi crew. Swipe left to see how we’ve been finding her most mornings. 🫣

We went on a local adventure but got lost along the way. We found this nice Tuna at a local fisherman stand! I learned how to properly fillet it. And Kais was in heaven with the Sashimi I made out of it-a definite win for us.

We had such a great time at Le Phare Bleu South African Braai (BBQ). There were so much to activities (egg toss, crab race, tug of war, water activities), food, music and a bonfire. The kids had a blast.

What in the world is Maik reeling in today? It must be something big because they are fighting.

Definitely didn’t want him to be rubbing all that all over me. I can do it myself you know. I guess he wants me 20 years younger 🤪. That’s what they say when you bathe in this mud from the Soufrière volcano. And look what he brought with him? Recruitment.

We went to The Soufrière in St. Lucia. It is an active drive in volcano 🌋. I believe it is the only active drive in volcano in the world or at least that’s what we were told. We took the quick tour with a guide then headed to the mud baths. The kids love this hot mud baths and playing with the mud from the volcano.

After our cold bath, we drove to this volcano area and swam in these warm/hot pools. The kids loved these pools the bests. They begged to come back.

When we finally found the Bassin Bleu, the kids jumped right in. The water crispy cold but refreshing.

Lila about caused me a heart attack when she went all in to touch this thing. Can you hear the fear in my voice? These kids have NO fear whatsoever.

On our short hike to Bassin Bleu, Guadeloupe, we found something we’ve never seen before. 🫣

26/06/2022

We are no longer in Guadeloupe but we had a great time there. We took a hike to the Bassin Bleu (Blue Basin) and one of their hot springs (Bains Jaunes). We highly recommend both. We did both on the same day.

Just reach St. Lucia! Now time to relax after over 24 hours at sea.
