Two years ago today we flew out to Nova Scotia to find a safe anchorage for Shimshal as she lay in the path of hurricane Dorian. We are flying back there again on Tuesday and look what’s heading our way on Friday. It looks like it will stay offshore but we are keeping our fingers crossed!
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.
