It has been 16 months since I last sailed. Family comes first, which is all I will say.
Distant Horizon is ready to sail. However, her transatlantic voyage has been postponed until 2014 as the window of opportunity is quite small this year. My youngest daughter is graduating from High School in June and August will be spent getting her prepared and moved to her new college location. Which college? That remains to be seen. She has multiple acceptances. So, she has choices and the choice is hers to make.
Since the blog has been boring for the past year, I plan to use it to update my sailing adventures. This will start with a transatlantic passage. I will crew on a private yacht; moving the 62 foot multihull from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA to Gibraltar. The planned departure date is April 15th. The captain is a British Royal Yacht Master, good friend, and sailing companion.
I will update this blog as I get more information. In the mean time, if you have questions... post a comment and I will try to answer.
