 Do It (far left) anchored off Saldanha Bay Yacht Club |
After nine weeks, we've finally torn ourselves away from Simon's Town. It has taken all our self restraint not to buy a property there. We loved it. Just don't love the wind... See here.
A diary of the rest of our adventures so far can be found through the Logs button on the left of this page.
You can see our location by clicking the 'Current Position' button on the left of the page. Note the the system is only accurate to about a mile so occasionally does odd things like put us on dry land.
The Potted Introduction
This is the story of our lifetime aspiration to conduct a world cruise as a couple on our own sailing yacht 'Do It'. Our ambition was created by reading in various UK sailing magazines about those out there currently "Doing It" (hang on to that phrase, it is relevant as you will see shortly) and crystallised in 1998 by some health issues. Having made the decision to 'do it', most of our activities since were geared towards the goal of setting off in April 2005. From the purchase of our training boat (a delightful Westerly Merlin named Emerillon - now sadly sold) to the saving of every penny we can (which flowed out of our bank accounts like water as we approached the start date), we lived this ambition.
This website gives some idea of the yacht, the planning, the intended route, and now we have set off - logs of the legs sailed. Our biographies are buried at the start of the 'Logs' pages.
