Ariel of Hamble

Jim and Valerie SHURVELL

Tue 24 Mar 2009 14:43

This will be the account of the voyage and adventures of 'Ariel of Hamble' and her crew.

The crew will be Valerie and Jim Shurvell and guests who join us to cruise with us.

The start date is due to be the end of April 2009 on early May 2009.

'Ariel of Hamble' is a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 that we took delivery of in June 2008 and we have equipped her since then to sail South in.

The plan is to sail along the French Atlantic coast, to Northern Spain and onto Portugal, Southern Spain and into the Mediterranean for the summer of 2009. To visit new places, sample to local cosine and produce, visit the local history and generally enjoy their culture.

The plan after that has to evolve and be decided.
