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.

We are off again!
We are driving north this evening to catch a morning flight to the Faroe's so, in a little over 12 hours, we should be back on board. Ronnie, our crew for the next 3 weeks, arrived in the islands 3 days ago and found them bathed in unfamiliar sunshine. The very good news is the forecast for our crossing to Icekand on Sunday (see below). Beam winds to waft us along. Let's hope it is right!
