A year or so back, I posted about Chelone, a Hans Christian 38, owned by a friend of ours in West Wales. John had then just sailed back single handed from the Caribbean, and I would have loved to sail back with him, but was unable to make it at the time.

Well, John is taking Chelone back to the Caribbean this October, and both Louise and I are going with him!
We'll be leaving Neyland some time in Mid October, and sailing the whole way, probably to Trinidad, then flying back sometime in December, if all goes according to plan.
We're really excited about it, but there is a huge amount to do. Loads of things to organise, finances to be put in place, Tigger and our cat, Basil, to be temporarily rehomed, and ourselves to get in the frame of mind to cross the Atlantic under sail.
More details coming soon.........
