We've been out on my 33year old, 30ft Sagitta catamaran a few times since launching a month ago. But yesterday was the first "real" sail. I was joined by Alex and Kristina, who had sailed the boat a couple of times last year. There was more wind than expected, 20+ in Plymouth Sound. We left the mooring at 14.30, reached out to sea until we were 10 miles south of the breakwater (according to the gps) then turned round and were back on mooring at 17.30. 27 miles sailed. No breakages, but a spinnaker wrap on the last gybe as we re-entered the Tamar. So "a good time was had by all", and hopefully bodes well for the Falmouth Triangle race this holiday weekend.

We popped over to see our friends at Learn2Sail Portugal this week to see the Broadblue 346 in action. The Algarve is an amazing sailing ground and it’s great that Audrey II is used in their sail training programme. Sunshine and sailing; what could be better? Here's a link to our friends catamaran course. It's also a great way to test sail a catamaran if you are thinking of buying one in the near future. https://www.learn2sail.com/our_broad_blue_catamaran.php If you are loving the look of our Broadblue 346, take a more detailed look here: https://www.broadblue.com/cruising-catamarans/broadblue-346 You can also discover more about our Broadblue and Rapier Catamarans on our other channels: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/broadbluecats/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/broadblue_c...

Vi närmar oss halvvägs, havet rullar på och livet ombord har fått en… oväntad rutin. Våra objudna gäster har nämligen gjort båten till sitt nattstopp och lämnat en hel del att städa efter sig. 😅🐦 Det är kanske inte den delen av långsegling som syns på vykorten, men det är en del av äventyret. Imorgon firar vi att vi snart är halvvägs över Stilla havet! ⛵️ Heja gärna på oss, vi har fortfarande många sjömil kvar! 💙 Eller som Niklas sa häromdagen, "bara en Atlantöverfart kvar nu" 😅
