  • Our Very First Experience!

    We had the chance to have this memorable experience with some extraordinary people. Captain Benoit and his wife Annick, the cook, welcomed us with open arms. It was our first experience on a catamaran and in the Bahamas, and it was a colorful and gastronomic adventure! If this is the adventure you are looking for in a heavenly place…Benoit and Annick are your hosts par excellence.

Explorers Of Happiness

Happiness…
is the ultimate goal,
that “Je ne sais quoi” that everyone is looking for!
That moment when we say we are completely happy…

But what is happiness? Where can we find it?
Is happiness a state of being, an emotion, a moment, a place, a person?

Each being on this earth has their own definition of happiness.
Some people will search for it,
while others will wait for it.

But, there are beings who will CREATE it, EXPLORE it and SAVOR it at every moment possible.
For them, happiness is from within.

It is through exploration of the world that they make their happiness be born, to grow and to last.
Let us learn to be EXPLORERS OF HAPPINESS.

We will accumulate happiness along our way, every day,
and we will have the chance to savor every moment of it!
