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.

Exciting times
It’s now just 6 weeks before we head back to Shimshal and begin our journey south and preparations are underway. We have ordered an efficient air conditioning unit (Frigomar 10,000 btu dual outlet) to give us occasional respite from the heat and today the courtesy flags arrived. Sally is now perpetually plugged into Duolingo’s South American Spanish course and gets on very well with Carlos and Alexandra!
