After two seasons sailing to and around the Caribbean, we returned in June this year: Jono taking two crew to complete the Atlantic circuit with passages from St Martin in the Caribbean to Horta in the Azores, and from there to mainland Europe, making landfall in Portugal before sailing onwards to Gibraltar. We have left Merryn in Gibraltar having a major electrical refit (more on that in the blogs to follow), and taken a short break at our place in the French Alps. A time for walking, cycling, and relaxing. In July we return to Merryn for a couple of months taking her to Sardinia and to our favourite boatyard.
