Sol Sisters

We would like to thank Blu Zen and Doug and Mayra Singh for their support of Sol Sisters. We've had the benefit of an easy launch location with a sturdy kayak rack at Blu Zen during the past 18 months since we started kayaking together. The Blu Zen staff has been super supportive during our training and turned out upon our arrival. Doug and Mayra also coordinated publicity and our arrival celebration. We genuinely appreciate the support!

The catamaran, Mis Jak, followed along with us on our journey, being our home base at the end of each day.

The crew of Mis Jak was phenomenal! Captain Izzo kept an eye on us while letting us run our route and make changes on the fly for anchorage. Captain Izzo is an absolute professional on the water and he has put together a crew that works in sync with ease and anticipate what needs to be done.

Ozz and Z were up with us each morning at 4am, ready to reload our gear, tuning into every detail all the way to what setting each of us use on our adjustable paddle length. And at some point each day they would run the dingy out to us with a cold drink or anything we needed to give us a few minutes of a break.

Chef Elvia prepared amazing food and sent bags of fruit with the dingy. And she was on point with not just the quality of her food, but the presentation and timing.

We will do a separate post with all details of how you can get in touch with Captain Izzo and charter for a cruise or book a dive trip.

In addition to the Mis Jak crew was the Sol Sisters support crew, David and Rose Poer who have been working with us for months planning out all of the details. They knew every aspect of how many calories we needed to eat each day and how many liters we needed for hydration. They stayed in touch with our loved ones, documented our trip, laughed with us and so much more…and did so through beautifully supportive friendship.

We are truly grateful to have had the best crew on our journey. Thank you David, Rose, Izzo, Ozz, Z, and Elvia! We love you all!

We’ve made it through day 4. But we are down a working SPOT and the spare GPS. The SPOT made it through day one and then died. The spare GPS died the next day.

Day 5 has potential high wind predicted in the afternoon, but we are ready for it. Two more days and we will be back in Caye Caulker.
