Provisional Itinerary – Come and Join Us!
Below is a provisional itinerary of where we shall be, and when. We love to have old and new friends sailing with us, so book your flights and come out to join us! We would love to have you stay with us, and can offer you three queen sized berths. No sailing experience required, though a sense of adventure and a good sense of humor are both compulsory! We can make this a pure holiday or a sail training experience, or something in between. Note that since we are NOT certified instructors we cannot actually give you any kind of certificate, but we can certainly teach you what we know. Just get in touch with us and let’s see what we can organize for you.
The dates below are subject to frequent change. In fact it is often pretty hard to predict when we will be where – particularly looking far ahead. The best way to plan is either to pick a time, and then get a short notice flight to wherever we are at that time – or else pick a place, and we will let you know closer to the date when we will actually be there!
NOTE: these dates are provisional. If we change them, we will let you know, provided you have signed up for automatic notification.

Noel – let me know if you’re ever passing the South West coast of Ireland and I’ll take the two of you for a glass of guinness and a taste of traditional Irish music.
Enjoy your trip!

Hey Neil
The plan IS to go to Europe next summer. Hadn’t thought about Ireland, but that might be an idea too! Certainly some Guiness sounds good- and maybe a ceilidh or two!
You will be made very welcome Noel.. Ireland has an amazing coastline and if you catch the South West corner around late August/early September you might even find it’s stopped raining!
Wow on the way to England and later to Portugal. That is fantastic.
What an adventure. Happy to hear day 4 is gotten you so close to “some sleep” Turks and Caicos
Fair Winds
