Reputation is everything

2013 began for me by considering the two big milestones we would need to get past in order to get up to Banderas Bay for hurricane season: the Panama Canal and the Gulf of Tehuantepec. With the first of those being easily achieved, drama-free in...

We left England in 2011 aboard Adamastor, a Crossbow 42, intending to circumnavigate in a couple of years. After crossing the Atlantic and enjoying several months in the Caribbean we reached Panama, where we decided to start a family.

Now we combine our cruising with being full-time parents to our daughter, Rocket, who was born en route in Mexico. We crossed the Pacific ocean with her, from Mexico to New Zealand, exploring all the South Pacific islands in between.

Our crew expanded with our son, Indigo, who was born in New Zealand. Our journey then took us back out to the South Pacific and onward into South East Asia. We’re currently sailing in Indonesia and have just welcomed a baby girl, Autumn, born on a flying visit back to the UK.

Now, 8 years, 36 countries, 2 oceans, 3 babies en route and 26,000 miles since we set off you can follow our progress here.
