Saint Florent and Macinaggio

Guests blog – SY Nimrod – 20/06/13 – Calvi
Yesterday saw us departing the delightful Girolata after a lazy breakfast, at 10.20. Discussion between skipper (Jo) and first mate (Liz) about the necessity of sails resulted in the good ship Nimrod, which our generous hosts have transformed from weekend … Continue reading

At 2.30am on Friday morning Jo, Liz and I stumbled into the car and weaved our way along the A-SomethingOrOther, bound for the neon climes of Stansted Airport. Seven hours later, having failed to win the cost of our Ryanair … Continue reading
One year ago
Amazing to think that one year ago today, we set sail from Gosport on an adventure of a lifetime. We had lots of ups and a few downs (mainly the engine dying) but wouldn’t have swapped it for the world. … Continue reading
