Mishaps and Memories

Aug. 1, 2008 - decisions decisions

We are starting to plan out our annual 2 week summer cruise coming up shortly.....

 

The main factor influencing destination will be wind direction, but failing that being a deciding factor, we are in mixed minds....

 

Option 1 is as previosuly planned... to head off down channel, and see where we end up.... with Fecmap, St Valery en Caux, and possibly St Vaast and Cherbourg on the list with a return via the Solent. Option 2 is to head towards north Holland, in via Ijmuiden and into the Ijsselmeer via Amsterdam...

 

Both sound good, and I can't make my mind up!

About Me

The trials and tribulations of yacht ownership, and maintaining the family's joy of sailing on Morgana, our Beneteau Oceanis 400. Watch and read how our plans develop towards throwing off the lines and heading into the sunset... it'll take time though!

My favourite pictures

Where in the world am I?
