The Ugly, the Bad and the Good: Five Years and 31 Countries Sailing the Caribbean, Jerry Norton

Details

When Jerry Norton and Sophie Newman cast off from Plymouth in July 2021 aboard Khamsin, a brand-new 51ft Beneteau Oceanis, the plan was simple: one season in the Caribbean and then home. Five years later, they still haven’t returned.

After dropping the hook in 31 countries, sheltering in five hurricane holes and completing two circumnavigations of the Caribbean, they look back on the outright ugly, the not-so-bad, the lessons they wish they had known from the outset, and, above all, the extraordinary experiences that have made the adventure far richer than they could ever have imagined.
