Past Voyages
Lest we forget where we've been, here are old cruising plans that are now historic.
Cruising plans
Written in sand at low tide, here are our current plans.
Beginning of March 2008
Haul-out in Panama on the Atlantic side. That gives us better weather for the western Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico passages.
End of March and first half of April
Passage from Panama to Florida via Isla Providencia, Grand Cayman, and Isla Mujeres to Key West.
End of April and early May
From Key West to Fort Lauderdale. Provisioning and last-minute repairs in Fort Lauderdale before the big passage. Last chance for friends and family to visit in the USA.
Late May or early June
We've decided not to do the ARC Europe rally. That eases the pressure to be ready for the Atlantic crossing on a schedule and let's us pick a date according to the weather. We'll cross sometime in May or June and will probably opt to skip Bermuda and sail directly to the Azores from Florida.
Late June
Explore the Azores before heading north to the Continent.July and August
Cruise in northern Europe: The Netherlands, for sure, via the coast of France and Belgium. Maybe on to Denmark after that. We'll see.
