Thousands of miles and no ships. Some difficulties with the ships navigation PC, but a good daily rhythm on board. Flying fish land during the nights and we use them as bait but with little success. Although I got 1 small Mahi-Mahi yesterday which became a nice stew within the hour. I have been teaching…

Having left Dominica in a force 3, we made gentle progress Westwards toward the Venezuelan coast through great long patches of Sargassum weed, which put paid to our hopes of getting fish.   There were occasional vessels that appeared on our AIS transponders including a large cruising ship which crossed our course line from South to…

Living Water and her crew arrived yesterday 22nd Feb 19 in Shelter Bay Marina at the Caribbean entrance to the Panama Canal after a good passage across the Caribbean, covering 400 miles in 2 days at the fastest point! Tomorrow the crew are going to a local church and then continue preparing for the Panama…

…and they are off again! After a good time of R and R (rest and repairs) in Antigua and Dominica, the crew departed for the next leg of their journey, 1100 miles across the Caribbean sea. They are making good progress so far and I had a text from them this morning saying: Good wind…

I have been keeping in touch via satellite text message with the crew and they just sent me this update, they probably have another 5 days or so at sea and had a small problem with some sail sliders which they have been trying to repair. A full repair will have to wait till they…

Today “Living Water” departed from Madeira bound for the Caribbean. They have 2600 miles ahead, hopefully all downhill! Which will take 18 days if they average 6kts. Of course there is no guarantee what wind they will have so they may be faster or slower. The watermaker is now installed and they will be testing…

Having received many of your emails asking for information and also acknowledging to us that you are following our progress on the tracker. It has been a period of much excitement, tension and rejoicing since leaving Falmouth. As many of you know our crossing of the Western Approaches (to the English Channel) proved to be…
