Ever since starting cruising 20 years, we have always been limited by time. Because of my job, l could only take a week long holiday at a time, and after 3 days heading in one direction, we needed to turn around and think about heading back. As such, our sailing was limited to about 150nm of coastline between Torquay in the east and The Isles of Scilly to the West.
Yesterday, we completed 10,000nm on that short piece of coastline without doing any major crossing apart from out and back from Scilly nine times, and our 2 day delivery passage from Poole to Helford back in March 2017. It almost seems silly to have done so many miles on such a short piece of coastline. But we have done just that!
We had planned Ireland this season, but Vicki needed medical treatment in June, so that idea got cancelled. So this season, we managed to get past Dartmouth and north around Berry Head to Torquay for our first visit. But it’s really still only sailing the same 150 miles of coastline.
Love Sailing
