Now this is not the end
Posted on September 12, 2011 | 12 CommentsIt is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Churchill was referring to the changing tide of the Second World War after vanquishing German troops in Egypt. I’m using it because Ondine is on dry dock, […] -
Swept Away
Posted on August 29, 2011 | 16 CommentsThursday, August 11, 2011 4:45 am I am woken up by the wind, it’s howling. Ondine is anchored off a beach called, Agios Prokopis, on the island of Naxos in Greece. Captain James is not on board, he’s in New York. My biggest fear when […] -
Greek Drama
Posted on July 4, 2011 | 3 CommentsOr as Emma-Kate said more accurately: rudderless in Zakynthos. After zooming 6,000 nautical miles to Greece, we finally arrived in the Peloponnese in the island of Zakynthos on June 30th at 2am. We dropped the anchor just around the corner from the main port of […] -
We’ve arrived in Greece!
Posted on July 1, 2011 | 3 CommentsWe’ve been pressing onward to Greece with an unwavering sense of purpose and everything else has taken second place. We’ve not been blogging or exploring as much, but we have been doing one hell of a lot of sailing: about six thousand miles or more […] -
Gibraltar
Posted on June 23, 2011 | 3 CommentsSo we’ve been saying we sailed to Gibraltar, but you know, its not true. Sure, we crossed through the straits, and we had every intention of mooring in Gibraltar. Hell, we’d already reserved a space in Queensway Quay Marina. When we took down the sails […] -
The Atlantic Crossing: Coda
Posted on June 23, 2011 | 1 CommentIf there was a beginning to our Atlantic Crossing, it was our sail from The British Virgin Islands to Bermuda. And although we have been claiming the crossing from “North America” to “Europe” was done from Bermuda to the Azores (Portugal), it took us another […] -
The Azores
Posted on June 21, 2011 | 1 CommentThe Azores were COMPLETELY different than I imagined them. First of all they were cold! The water temperature just broke the sixties. So no swimming for yours truly. Though I did see the locals getting wet. (Crazy!) Blustery and windswept are two words that come […] -
The {moist} Atlantic Crossing
Posted on May 23, 2011 | 2 CommentsDAY SEVEN: May 11th Everything is wet. It’s been raining, the wind has moved forward from south-west to south-east and we are now heading east and sailing into it. The waves have been crashing over the boat from starboard bow to port stern, (diagonally across […] -
It’s only the Atlantic Ocean, but I like it, like it, yes I do.
Posted on May 22, 2011 | 1 CommentDAY FIVE, May 9th: Waterspouts. Brett wakes me up in the morning. There are low hanging thunder clouds in the sky everywhere. He had looked off the port stern and pointed to Steve and said. “WHAT THE *$%! IS THAT?!”. Steve: “I think you’d better […] -
Atlantic Crossing: The Calm & The (first) Storm
Posted on May 21, 2011 | 2 CommentsDAY THREE, May 7th: The Calm before the Storm The engine is on all day today. The weather is beautiful but there’s no wind. The UNO championship begins. Brett manages to amass 300 points most of it in one hand. Did I mention that the […]
