Done an intercontinental sail, which is a first for Avy-J

200nm Alvor (Portugal) to Rabat (Morocco)

6 weeks gadding about by train, bus, camel, quad and tram, then seized a teensy weather window back to Alvor.

Back to Seil on Thursday to fettle Fairwinds.

That's sounds fascinating, especially the train and land stuff. Will there be a write up?

[Nick]

Might be a bit of a write-up and photos if I have time

Bit knackered just now. Sitting in a Portuguese restaurant waiting on suckling pig and octopus, early flight tomorrow. Last rabies jab on Friday in Oban then heading through the canal ASAP on Fairwinds.

Was planning heading to Norway from Peterhead, but it's closed so it will have to be a Whitehills departure.

I am heading to Norway (on another boat) from Inverness to Bodo, leaving around the 8th of June. It's been a few years since I last sailed in those waters, on the Banff to Stavanger race. Looking forward to it.

Inverness to Bodo is a long haul, too much for us on Fairwinds I think. We will attempt to cross to Haugesund and take it from there.

Was looking at the possibility of coastal sailing up to Bodo and leaving Fairwinds tehre for the Winter.
