Ahoy crew! We’ve been saving this fun announcement for you. Many followers have asked our cruising plans this winter, and it’s likely not at all what you would have guessed. We’re going to complete our first Atlantic Circle! I mean ... life is very full for me and Phillip at HaveWind!

We will be flying to France in early November to meet up with some new sailing friends, Kate and Cyrus, whom you all will meet soon, to help them deliver their being-built-now Lagoon 42 from La Rochelle, France to the BVIs likely via the Canaries. How exciting is that! When we crossed the first time in 2016 from Florida to France we were going against the trade winds. This time it should be a smoother ride, but we have no idea what the boat and the great big ocean has in store for us. Many lessons I’m sure. What better reason to go!

We will be posting on HaveWind’s Facebook page via the Delorme so you all can follow along and track us in real time as we cross the pond. www.facebook.com/havewindwilltravel

Shipyard Annie also wanted you to know she’s been working hard filming this past summer while we were hauled out at the Pensacola Shipyard with Brandon at www.perdidosailor.com, and I put together several videos before I left so you all would have some very cool stuff to watch at HaveWind while we’re offshore. So, be on the lookout for those and enjoy the boat project videos!

Phillip and I feel very fortunate that we have the health and flexibility to seize opportunities like this when they come along. While a ton (and I do mean a literal TON!) of behind the scenes work goes into being able to step away and shove off for a six-week adventure, it is all totally worth it. We LOVE going offshore. We’re super excited about this upcoming adventure, and hope you all are too. We’ll have much to share when we return!

And, our end goal is to still sail our baby girl down to Grenada in the spring to keep her there for hurricane season. We’re going to be busy this cruising season! Enjoy the show! Write-up and more details available at www.havewindwilltravel.com.
