Welcome to the home page of my sailing site and blog!
Here you can follow the wanderings of a small boat owner with a somewhat ambitious sailing itenerary. After many years playing the "rat race" game, I finally own Eileen of Avoca, my small but seaworthy boat. Now it's time to escape the self-imposed prisons of debt, monotony, and false ambition and weigh anchor.
While I left Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight in 2007 the real journey begins now, and I invite you to share it with me.

Where in the world is Eileen of Avoca?

Eileen of Avoca has been lifted for substantial refit at Yarmouth Marine Services. It will take at least a few weeks to make her pretty.

Not so difficult crossing Biscay after all. Have continued with longer passages to reach the Isle of Wight in time for YOGAFF.

Crossing the Bay of Biscay tomorrow. I'll let you know how it went when I reach France. Might be a rough ride...

In beautiful Gijon waiting for a weather window to cross the Bay of Biscay. Destination is Belle Ile but I may end up elsewhere!

Goodbye Portugal, Hello Northern Spain! Sitting out the rain in pretty Bayona. I'd rather not get wet sailing to La Coruna. Yes I'm a wimp!

Heading North along the Portuguese coast. Check out the blog for all the latest!

I'm now sailing in Southern Portugal. The next challenge is Cape Saint Vincent, or Cabo de SÃ£o Vicente in Portuguese.

Limping back to Gibraltar after tearing my mainsail in unexpectedly rough weather!

I am sailing again at last! Goodbye Mediterranean and hello Atlantic.
