Thank you so much!! We forgot to mention the bird!! Unfortunately he left us once the coast guard came out, think the drama got too much for him lol!! But at least he was in a much better state than when we first saw him!

We were actually very surprised how beautiful Martinique was. For some reason as it’s currency is Euros we imagined it to be a look more like Europe!
The mono Vs cat race was on with us and Sailing Amanaki. Coco done very well keeping up considering we were sailing 40deg upwind with 2 reefs in (we ripped our main so can only sail with 2 reefs for the moment)
Who knew that an ancient Crustacean Lobster species could still outwit, embarrass and humiliate 2 masculine human hunters.
Happy Sunday guys. Hope you all have a fantastic week. Stay safe.

What an INCREDIBLE trip this was.
Really enjoyed making this one, we enjoyed every minute of this passage and was definitely one of our sailing highlights!
We made this one a little longer to make up for the break! Hope you like it
Hey everyone, hope you have all been well and that the weather in Cyprus is treating you better than the weather where we are!
Just thought we would give you and update on our journey! We just did our first overnight sail together and were greeted by the most amazing dolphins in the morning! Hope you enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... G066bS9i-k
Thanks for sharing

Several weeks ago they returned to Europe (UK and other places?) to attend (amongst other things) a wedding, and - I suspect - are still this side of the big pond. However, I found this vlog from June.
Hopefully they'll be sending more of their adventures soon!

Hey everyone!!
So sorry we've been so quiet!! We have left the boat in Savannah for hurricane season and have been meaning to make and catch up with our videos! Since we've been back in England we have been swamped with catching up with our work! We keep thinking we're nearly on top of it but one week keeps rolling into the next!! Going to try our best to make a video today and tomorrow for this Sunday and hopefully get on a weekly or two-weekly roll with them again while we're here!
But Jofra is right we have been having some fun with a long weekend in Italy for a school friend's wedding!
Thank you all for checking in on us and sorry we haven't posted for a month, didn't realise it was so long!! It has just flown by! But you've given us the extra push we needed to get the vids back on track

Heyaa!! Managed to make one this week thanks to you guys!!
Sorry there isn't much talking on this weeks video, we didn't realise at the time that the mic stopped working so we lost a LOT of audio!! Made the best we could with it but hopefully they will get better in weeks to come!
jofra, the last post from Coco was on July 31st!! Have no clue what has happened since but they deserve some time to themselves for sure, just hope they are all fine out there.

Hey Kibkommers!
We have a LOT of explaining to do…
Sorry we have been MIA for SO long! We’re finally excited to be able to share some news with you! We have been non stop since we left the boat in the States and also had a little surprise along the way…
We managed to have a quick get away to Cyprus to catch a bit of sun after being hermits since we left the boat which has been beautiful! We visited our wedding hotel for a couple nights to celebrate our anniversary and enjoy the hotel to its fullest this time round! We're now on the North side enjoying the sunshine!
We have a lot of videos to catch up on so now that work has calmed down a little we aim to start making them again soon!
Hope you all have had a great summer and thank you for following along with us!!

Wonderful News!
Glad you are both well. Some of us were getting quite concerned and also getting withdrawal symptoms from our regular “Sailing Coco” updates.
Much love and good wishes to the 3 of you.

They now appear to be (currently) landlubbers; for the last few weeks they have been (occasionally) posting on FB, giving updates on the work they've doing on their (new?) house - and a very nice job of it as well!

Ceylan and Alfie are very soon to be parents. Baby due 2nd week of April. They had managed to purchase a run down house and struggled with time to fix it up before arrival of baby. I believe they will set sail again with baby in a few months time, so vlogs will resume in due course.
Granddad to be, about to go down to paint some doors.

Great to hear that all is well and that you are being gainfully employed again buddy!!! Give them all our very best wishes and just remember - the first one is always late or early or on-time, so don't worry too much - lol. Must be great to be a Granddad, my five grandkids are doing fine as are their three kids as well - boy do I feel old now!! Anything we can do for you guys from out here just let us know please!! Take great care on the steps and don't lick the paint - it might have sugar in it - lol.

Alfie and Ceylan are in the process of getting little Koa a passport. They are due to start sailing again in September. I am sure vlogs will soon follow, if they can manage between nappy changes.

Hello to all of our KibKom followers, We hope you are all well. For those who are not following our Facebook or Instagram, we thought we would post an update for you guys here too!
From navigating the high seas to navigating the journey of parenthood . Introducing the newest member of our CocoCrew: Koa!
After docking Coco and returning to the UK for celebrations and summer vibes, life threw us its most beautiful curveball: Koa.
Born amidst challenges, his entry was dramatic, keeping us on our toes! But every storm has its rainbow , and after a tense hospital stay, our little family was united at last. As we watch him grow, we're endlessly grateful for Ceylan, our anchor in these whirlwind times.
Our sails are set, and soon, Koa will be embracing the sea breeze on his first sail.
We can’t wait for Koa's first sailing adventure and to share every splash and sunset with all our #CocoCompanions. Stay with us, the adventure's about to get wilder!
