Arion's West Indian Adventure
Hermione & Douglas Pattison
Thu 28 May 2015 19:02
Our trusty Sigma 362 Arion who will be our home during this adventure is currently lying out of the water in Dell Quay having undergone a major winter refit.
To give you an idea of what is to come Arion is to leave Itchenor at the end of August with Nick & Biddy Colbourne (our co-owners) at the Helm bound for Lisbon.
I (Douglas) will pick Arion up in Lisbon with my friend Graham Colbourne and will take Arion down to Las Palmes to prep for our Atlantic Crossing. For the Atlantic crossing itself we will be participating in the ARC joined by Daniel Ayton, Ian Wheel & Graham.
Hermione, Arthur & Alice will be flying out to las Palmes for the last week prior to departure and will then be there to hopefully welcome us into St Lucia.
Over the course of the next few weeks I will endeavour to give you an idea of the work done to convert this racing yacht into a crusher/home for a family of four !
