Social distancing remains firmly in place in Scotland as the pandemic regresses to endemic. Outside meetings of up to 6 in a garden are allowed but the freezing temperatures mean that BBQ’s are the preserve of hard soles on the west coast of Scotland.
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 and in 2024 we sailed to French Polynesia via Galapagos.
