The attention junkie issue continues but I have moved to a shiny new website. The old content is still on Blogger and will likely stay there as migrating it would be difficult.

2015 Cruising Plans

Submitted by Michael Chamberlin on Fri, 06/03/2015 - 22:03

Currently preparing the boat at Ipswich haven to be ready to leave in mid April. This weeks project is to get a holding tank fitted, interestingly the quotes I got are nearly £1000 apart even though all were using the same manufacturer for the Tank.

We will be heading to the Baltic via the Kiel canal and taking the route outside the Fresian islands to enter the Baltic around the beginning of May. The plan is to explore the Danish and Swedish coast before joining the CA Rally in Stralsund at the beginning of July. In August we expect to leave the Baltic and head for warmer water

Whale Encounters

Changed by (Daria Blackwell) on 11/01/2015 14:50

The January 2015 issue of Yachting World carried my article about the risk of striking a whale. I will continue to collect information and reports about encounters between whales and yachts.  Please contact me if you have either struck a whale or been struck by a whale while cruising.
