Silver Slipper - ARC 2013



Well it’s almost 8 months until we leave Las Palmas for St Lucia. This journey is the culmination of three years finding the right boat and preparing her for the sail across the pond. New rigging, new sails and all safety gear now purchased and installed. What’s next?   Well the boat is out of the water and  all we have to do now is prep the hull, prime and antifoul, replace the anodes and then a good clean and polish and we are ready to start the great adventure. Follow Wendy and I as we leave Brixham in early May and make a leisurely sail down to Las Palmas via the Channel Islands, Brittany, Spain, Portugal, Madeira and the Canary Islands.
Joining us on our trip is our dog, Bumble, a 4 year old, Bearded Collie who just loves boats and will be writing her own blogs to keep all her friends involved.
Breaking News: Before Wendy and I set sail we are getting married on April 20 in Bigbury on Sea, Devon. The wedding party is not just a celebration of us being married but a big party to say goodbye to all our friends and family.  
Follow us and share our honeymoon and adventures of a life time.
More to come. Take care
Ian, Wendy and Bumble on Silver Slipper
