Swagmans Sailing Blog

Come on in and say hello via a 'comment'. We've cruised our Hanse 46' sailboat from UK to Egypt to the Caribbean mainly two handed from 2004 to 2008 and enjoyed every minute. We are back temporarily in the UK - but sunshine beckons us again for summer 2009.

Hi Guys

Gerry - no need to worry about leading the younger guys astray on the stag outing. They already knew where to go and I went along for the ride! Ouch.

Keith and Pam - enjoy the East Med. Some of the Turkish and certainly Lebanese and Jordanian wines are just fine. But don't ask us to recall any brand names.

Bob and Ami - great to learn you got back safely. How was the run over from Africa to Brazil? We may take the big silver bird later this year to your homeland - so God willing - may be able to share a glass or two with you both.

love to you all

Sue and John

John and Sue,
The run from Senegal to Brazil was, for the most part, delightful. We got through the doldrums without any problems and a minimum of diesel.The run is only 2k rather than 3k for the crossing to St. Lucia.
Dutch Link, with Mike and Jeannette, is about to arrive next week in Newport, RI from Bermuda with their boat. We hope to see them for a glass or two while they are here. They will be heading northeast to Maine and possibly Nova Scotia. We will probably cross paths again as well be on our way to Newfoundland from mid July through August.
Can't speak for the Brittany coast, but the Rias in Spain are a delight. Enjoy the summer and let us know if you come this way either by air or water. Fairwinds, Bob & Ami
