Cath or I would like to claim credit for this free dive, but it was shot by a guide while we were snorkelling. It does show what we mean when we say that these were some of the most dramatic coral structures we've seen so far, though.
We completed an Atlantic circuit in our yacht "Ragamuffin of Gosport", a Nicholson 31, in 1987/8.
Since then, we have sailed together with our children along both sides of the Channel coast.
We bought our current boat, "Helena May", a Bavaria 38, in 2003. We have spent the last couple of years [...]
preparing her for long distance cruising and plan to start a 2-year trade wind circumnavigation in September this year. And yes, we'll be avoiding the pirates by taking the long way home via Cape Town, Brazil and the US East coast.
