HOMEWARD BOUND

ENDGAME and 2020/21
18th Sept. Craned out in Faro and now sorting out the boat for 5 months without my tender care.
Looking ahead my rough plans from mid February 2020 are:
Anything along the Algarve/Andalucian coast, possibly a trip up the river (50miles) to Seville for some culture!
Gibraltar-a bit far perhaps but sorry not to have made it this year.
To Madeira for most of March. Already have interest in this. This would be from Lagos and would take 3-4 days. I need a passage crew for this. 1 day in Lagos and a few days in Madeira with partner to join?
Down to the Canaries in April, 2 1/4 days. Again need passage crew.
Passage sailing down here is more ‘predictable’ than the Channel, a lot warmer and for every 100 ships to dodge in the Channel there are probably just a few.
The Canaries until June then return UK to enjoy the summer and back there about October. No fixed plans here, although I certainly want some time in Gomera and a visit to El Hierro. Open to suggestions.
Perhaps ‘open boat’ for Jan/Feb 2021 (they are the pits back home (except for skiing)
2021. If I plan to return the boat to the UK then the route will probably be via the Azores, back to Galicia (just love the seafood). Passage crews for the distance sails. Perhaps the Spanish Biscay coast, La Rochelle, Quiberon, S Brittany - spoilt for choice.
I need a fair bit of help to achieve all this and can reasonably flex to any particular
wishes or dates.
Any interest - get in touch
Come and join us.

Today’s picture is a boat ashore in a less reputable yard!!
