Apero, Dinner, After-dinner Drink on the "Wanderlust" - Amazing 2 1/2 Weeks on the Catamaran Sailboat "Wanderlust" in the Caribbean, with Chris, Cornelia, Viatrix and Ernst (April 2026)

 

 

During the trip, we went out for dinner to a restaurant in St. Lucia or Martinique a couple of times. Most of the time, however, we had dinner on the boat. 5 of these dinners stood out. 

Chris, Cornalia, Viatrix and Ernst Tremann: We're a German/American family from Munich who decided to ditch the rat race and sail the Caribbean. Join us as we explore on our catamaran "Wanderlust!" 

 

Annette and I took up the invitation and joined them for 2 1/2 weeks, from Marigot Bay in St. Lucia to Saint-Pierre in Martinique. They were already beyond the mid of their trip and on their way back to the home port of Wanderlust, in the British Virgin Island. 

 

During our trip, I posted regularly on facebook about our wonderful experience. This posting on schiller-wine blog puts all the individual facebook postings in one place: From Marigot Bay in St. Lucia to Saint-Pierre in Martinique - Amazing 2 1/2 Weeks on the Catamaran Sailboat "Wanderlust" in the Caribbean, with Chris, Cornelia, Viatrix and Ernst (April 2026)  

I, Annette, so much enjoyed this boat tour. I always felt very much home in the water: I love the seas, bobbing waves, swimming, tropical weather, raw nature, and this boat tour provided all of this. Living on a sailboat makes you aware of how much humanity depends on nature, and how small we are in this universe. You cannot sail without wind, you cannot live without fresh water, you cannot see without light, you cannot cook without some source of energy. Being together with our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandkids age ten and eleven in this relatively confined space was such a joy and taught me once again that teamwork and respect for one another are the most important skills for living in harmony and to overcome daily challenges. I felt honored to be part of this close-nit, adorable family for a delicious moment.

Many times, we had dinner on the boat. 5 of these dinners stood out.

 

First, dinner with our grandchildren Ernst and Viatrix on the Wanderlust while their parents Cornelia Schiller Tremann and Chris Tremann are out for a date night dinner. 

 

Second, apero and dinner on the boat. For the apero we tried a cider from Normandy. Dinner was German style - cold cuts and cheese, but all from France. All bought at the E.Leclerc supermarket in Fort de France a couple of days ago. Among others, we had a Jambon de Bayonne and a Roquefort from Papillon, difficult to find outside of France.  

 

Third,  after watching the sunset with a glass of Rose de Gascogne we had another lovely dinner on the boat, this time barbecue with a nice Cabernet Franc from Saumur-Champigny.

 

Fourth, Happy Hour with saucisson sec, a wonderful sunset and dinner on the boat. Dinner was again German-style cold cuts and cheese, but all from France. As blue cheese, we had a Bleu de Causse The rouge was a @Vinsobres, a cru from the Côtes du Rhône Weine.

 

Fifth, apero (Cidre de Bretagne Brut); perfect sunset; barbecue dinner (potato gratin and grilled red snapper with an IGP @Cotes de Thau).
