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 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 began a 2 year crossing of the Pacific arriving in New Zealand in October 2025.

A week of visitors at Traighuaine
A fine week with lots of friends and family at Traighuaine. Boating friends turned up for our BBQ last weekend and then a wonderful succession of old mountaineering friends (from all over the world) called by the following week. On Thursday we helped Chris bring S/V Genie (Contessa 32) through the Crinan Canal on his way to a climbing trip on the island of Pabay. Looking forward to getting on the water in the kayak next week.
