Yesterday
we were sailing around the world. Today we have sailed around the
world. No longer nearly there - we are there.
As
we sailed into Prickly Bay on the south coast of Grenada we crossed
our outward track from August 2009. In 2009 we were bound for
Venezuela, certainly not somewhere you would choose to go to today,
and points west. Today we've taken four days to come from French
Guiana.
The
circumnavigation by numbers; 52,000nm and 52 countries in 9 years and
9 months and one great boat. Jackster has been superb: a comfortable
home and a safe boat to cross the oceans in.
David
had the ambition to sail around the world before I met him in 2005.
We met on a diving holiday in Galapagos which is where he revealed
his idea to sail and dive around the world. I said 'Perhaps I might
be able to join you for a week or two.' Look where that got me!
Married to a sailor.
David
has realised his ambition and now I've realised an ambition I didn't
know I had!
And
the adventure isn't going to stop here....more places to see, people
to meet and more diving to do.
Contratulations Jackster/Dave/Jacqui! It is a major accomplishment! Karen and I know exactly how you feel - including the part where it ended up in Grenada!
ReplyDeleteHello. Great to hear from you and thank you. Yes, coming in to Grenada was a two punches in the air moment.
