Little Else will be minding her own business on her mooring for a few weeks while we undertake a new crewing challenge. We're off to Madeira and Porto Santo to join Sue Thatcher and her Victoria 38 Tamar Swallow on a tremendous voyage from Porto Santo to the Azores, then onwards to Plymouth. We'll be spending some time visiting five of the islands of the Azores, doing the tourist bit, then returning to Tamar Swallow for the long voyage home. I will try to keep our blog up to date en route, within the obvious constraints of lack of internet access when on the high seas. We are looking forward to visiting these remote islands, where many of the visitors arrive by yacht, mostly en route across the Atlantic

The plan is to return to the UK just before the end of July. Please comment on the blog if you read this, so we can get an idea of who reads the blog!

Off to pack the seasick tablets!
