Merry Christmas!

Here’s to our first real time post….

Christmas 2020 is for us, like most people in the world, not quite as planned.

Those of you who follow us will know that we had planned to leave the UK in May. The plan was to head down through the Spanish Rias, anchor off small fishing villages and eat tapas. Then sail down the Atlantic coast of Portugal, stopping off for the occasional glass of port. Finally, spend some time exploring the Canary Islands, before joining the ARC+ rally. The rally would have supported us in our journey to Cape Verde and then on to St Vincent in the Caribbean. That would have meant that Christmas 2020 would have been spent cruising the islands of St Vincent and the Grenadines, swimming in crystal clear waters with tropical fish and turtles. Instead we are in sunny Ipswich.

However, we consider ourselves very lucky to be living the life we do and know that life has been very difficult for so many people all around the world.

We would like to take this opportunity to send our thoughts and best wishes to family and friends, both far and wide. We wish you all a very Merry (and safe) Christmas and hope that 2021 is a better year for all.
