Season's Highlights

Windjammer & the cruisin’ Motleys would like to wish you all the best for the festive season.  We are still trying to work out how the months disappeared so quickly. 

We’ve finally put together a very lavish photo album from this season’s best.  (Click here or follow the 2012 album link over on the right.)  Note - this is season FIVE!  We had to include heaps of photos from Morocco of course and then there’s the best of moments with BCK…  All a lot of fun and way too much shopping, and eating and walking and drinking and shopping and talking.  You know the drill!

 

Despite all the photo opportunities, we had only 12 days of sailing this year – although a couple were quite long and either in fog or at night (or both – we do our best to be bold sailors sometimes!).  So it’s a bit of a record with only 584nm tucked under our belts.  Still we had fun, learned how to live the marina life and behave on bus tours.

And yes, we did doddle about in the Med for a wee bit!

The Cap’n informs me, as he heads out to lavish attention on his mooring minder (a 25ft Top Hat - another of his growing fleet), that his wrist is really improving.  Our sights are therefore set on making Turkey next year.  The First Mate will settle up the nav plans closer to a departure date from Aus, although the general program will be 3 months to get from Portugal to Turkey, then take some time to explore the Eastern Med coastline.  Simple?  We hope so….just a bit of sailing to work through.  Soooo glad we rested this year!
