Time to go

After what seems like a long, drawn out couple of months, it's finally time to fly back down to the Canary Islands and get back on board. Friday will be spent travelling, hopefully arriving at a fairly civilised time in the early evening. Saturday is preparation and provisioning then Sunday should be time to set sail. We'll try to post to the blog each day enroute, so do keep coming back to follow our progress.

Crew this time is my father, Dave, one of his work colleagues, Ed, and my college friend Ian Sheldon. For those who don't know Ian, it's time for a shameless plug - visit his website at www.iansheldon.com to see his artwork, Ian is an acomplished artist and author living and working in Edmonton, Canada, and has flown over to join in our trip so look out for future works inspired by the Atlantic skyscapes.

So goodbye, adieu to fair old England, for I don't know when I'll see these shores again.
