Sally and Simon left Scotland in 2015 on board Shimshal to begin a slow circumnavigation taking in various high latitude destinations. After 3 seasons in Greenland we sailed south to Lewisporte in northern Newfoundland. In 2019 we cruised the Canadian Maritimes. In 2022 & 23 we cruised via New England, Chesapeake, Florida, Cuba, Cayman, Providencia to Bocas del Toro. In late 2023 we transited the Panama Canal in readiness of a Pacific crossing in 2024.

Tvoroyri festival
Well it turns out that the first weekend after the summer solstice is a festival at Tvoroyri. A family fun day complete with bouncy castles and a BBQs but all centred around the rowing races. Traditional boats and crews converged on the town from all over Faroe and many came in national dress. The weather obliged and we had a leisurely day wandering around the town chatting with the publican, with John the Harbour master and with the crew of a Norwegian yacht that came in from Shetlamd last night. Customs came and searched the boat for alcohol and drugs.
