Well, what a strange time to be starting a blog -
after the big cruise! I wasn't too confident about this technology thing
while we were away and as Elaine at Yachting World has asked me to find out
about it, I thought I would give it a go. Watch out for the least
imaginative blog available on line.
So, as you may or may not know - we have completed
our Caribbean cruise. We left the UK in June 2005, had some great
adventures and scary moments as we sailed across Biscay, cruised northern Spain
and Portugal before heading to the Canaries. We left Santa Cruz, Tenerife
in early December and made landfall in St Lucia 26 days later. It wasn't
as fast as we'd hoped but we made it in one piece and only motored for two and a
half hours.
Five fabulous months in the Caribbean
sunshine...
 and then 19 days from Antigua to Horta......
 And 11 days from there back to Falmouth where we
are only now starting to find work and get established. Jacques is probably the happiest one now we are back - he has
joined the drama group, the rugby team, Army Cadets and has a girlfriend and a
new puppy. His smile is so wide you would think his face would
split.
