It’s been fun hanging out with our buddy boats in the islands. Lovely walks ashore and a mystery tour of one particular island following pink ribbons into dense bush and slippy slopes. The buddies go their separate ways tomorrow with Polaire Bear and Nimue heading south and Shimshal staying in the Bay of Islands enjoying the early summer and waiting for friends and family to join us.
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.
