Calypso - Checking in!



Calypso left its home port of St Peter Port, Guernsey on Monday 24th June with Phil, John and myself aboard. We split the journey into 3 main stages, (Guernsey to Povoa de Varzim, Povoa to Lisbon, Lisbon to Gran Canaria), and finally arrived in Las Palmas on Wednesday 11th September having visited 17 other ports and covered 1650nm on the way.

 

The journey was largely uneventful, mostly motor sailing, and it was only when cruising down the Portuguese coast and crossing from Madeira that we had some decent sailing. We were back to motoring as we approached Las Palmas.

 

We now have 4 weeks to complete the final preparations before setting off on ‘our voyage of a lifetime’.

 

 

Yours aye
