Our travel insurance came to an end after 60 days in Canada and so, with autumn advancing quickly towards winter, it was time to pack up the boat for an icy 6 month ashore in Gold River. After 36 hours of travel we are now relaxing at the Pinfold in front of the wood-burner with a garden to subdue.
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.
