A beginning and an end, in the year of Covid

This is a long overdue update for our ‘News‘ page. But the website would have told you of our intention to partake in the World ARC 2020-2021 circumnavigation that began on January 11th, 2020. Well, we got as far as April in Tahiti before the rally was suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the immeasurable challenges that seemed to lay ahead if we proceeded - towards the west we went!

It wasn’t easy, but we now know that it also wasn’t impossible. We decided to take it one day and one destination at a time, and today, perhaps symbolically on Easter day, and three days before our original planned date of return to St. Lucia, we crossed our outgoing track from January.

As I said to Lorenzo at the ‘finish line’, the world around us seemed to have stopped this year, but the sea kept moving - carrying us along with it.
