Welcome to the blog of

sailing vessel Melos (svmelos)

and to her crew

Janet and Jeremy Hood

 

This web diary will (hopefully) describe the upcoming voyage of Melos and her crew as she returns to the UK after an absence of twenty years. In 1988 Jeremy set off from Falmouth, England aboard Melos to sail across the Atlantic. His trip took him to the Caribbean and from there to Florida and later Texas.

It was in Seabrook, Texas that he met Janet and the two have been together since. In 1995 Janet took Melos to Bermuda, completing the passages from Florida to Bermuda and back singlehandedly. Now it is 2008 and Janet and Jeremy are soon to leave Seabrook and head towards Falmouth, England where, all being well, they should arrive by early August, almost exactly 20 years to the day when Jeremy left.

This blog will hopefully document the preparations still to be made and the trip to come.
