In 2014 Adventuress sailed to Europe. She made landfall in Muxia Spain; then England. After cruising the English South Coast, and the Channel Islands, she wintered at Woodbridge, England. The next three summers we cruised England, Holland, Norway, Denmark, France, Spain, Portugal, and Gibraltar. For the foreseeable future Adventuress will sail in Europe. UPDATE: it's October 2021 and we are sailing her back to the USA: Transat passage will be Nov/Dec: expect to be in Florida end of January.

PS
We had a smooth Gulf Stream crossing: key to that, and why we left Beaufort SC asap Wednesday, was that we managed to get across the stream before the front hit with its counter stream North winds. :)
Warming Up and Building Up
0815 AST Friday 3225N 7540W Wind N 32kts Seas 12ft Cloudy 6.0 kts beam reach 105T with 4 Reefs in the Main, and the Staysail.
As we ate dinner the sunset was glorious and the winds eased: but we knew what was coming. Happy to write that all tummies have now found their sea legs, and everyone tucked into Lemon Marinated Salmon over Tortellini with an Alfredo Sweetcorn sauce and Courgettes.
The front hit at 0230 and the winds and seas have steadily built. We are riding along with tiny sails, but quite safely as long as we hold on. Best to all: and to all land-bound sailors, especially JOP, wish you were here! John and Nancy, with Bob and Matt Glaser.
