Pemandia is safely laid up in Plymouth but back at home we have been planning this summer’s cruise. I have been a little bit reticent about declaring this as we all know that few plans survive first contact with the enemy! I would feel a bit feeble if I boasted of a three times around the world blindfold trip and ended up having one weekend on the River Tamar! However we have bought some air tickets so here goes!

The plan is that I will sail out to the Azores single handed, leaving Plymouth shortly after 12 May. I anticipate heading West for a shakedown, at least as far as Falmouth but possibly to the Scillies before proper departure. Emily will fly out to join me towards the end of the month for a couple of weeks exploring the Azores.

We will then fly home for a month or so and return with our friend Susanna for more exploration of the islands. Susanna will be replaced by Malcolm and Judy who will help me on the return passage at the end of July.
