South Brittany

We've found the sunshine! Spectacular rocky coastline, warm sunny weather, dolphins and some great sailing. We were escorted by pods of dolphins on our journey south to Loctudy, tomorrow we'll continue to Belle Ile and Quiberon Bay.

North Brittany

We had a safe but rough crossing from Falmouth to the Ile d'Ouessant on the northeast corner of Brittany. Then onto Camaret sur Mer and St Evette which were fortunately sheltered from the Atlantic waves!

 

 

Cornwall

Having experienced a few days of blustery autumnal weather in Cornwall. We're now heading across to Brittany and onwards towards La Rochelle

Dorset and Devon UK

We've sailed to Dartmouth from Poole Harbour, visiting Weymouth and Brixham along the way. Great sailing so far and the weather has been excellent. Heading to Cornwall then across to Brittany.

We're sailing!

We're finally ready and leaving Poole harbour at the start of our travels. We're both looking forward to some sailing after many weeks of hard work getting Vencedor ready. Thanks to everyone who has helped us get on the water.

Renovating our boat has taken us much longer than expected! However we're nearly finished, all the windows and hatches are refitted and we will be heading off on our travels from Poole by the end of August. Luckily the summer this year has been warm and mostly dry, the swallows seem to enjoy perching on the front of our boat. We'll soon be heading south towards Spain, Portugal and onto the Canary Islands for the winter.

May 2013

We're nearly ready to re-float Vencedor, the hull is almost ready and we're busy finishing work on the windows and the interior. By the end of June we'll be living aboard our boat in Poole harbour, then in mid July we'll be heading along the south coast towards Cornwall.
