It's two months and one week until Camilla, Sam, Guy and Ben are due to head south for France, Spain, Portugal and the Mediterranean in our Westerly Storm Kalessin of Orwell.
I'm starting this blog slightly experimentally to help us think about options for communicating with our friends, relations and colleagues in the UK and elsewhere.
Today Sam is down at the boat continuing to wrestle with the installation of the Lavac, Guy is at Tollesbury learning some advanced sailing skills (rudderless sailing and jury rigs appear to be on the syllabus) and Ben and I are at home feeling chilly (after a £700 oil bill last week we're too mean to run the heating in the middle of the day).
Kalessin of Orwell is a 33ft Westerly Storm. In 2006-8 we sailed her down to Portugal, into the Med, and home through the French canals. In 2011 we explored Baltic Germany and Denmark. After Sam's stroke we cruised gently on the East Coast, the Netherlands and Brittany, and in 2021 sailed to Cornwall and back. In 2024, following Sam's death, Camilla plans a memorial round-Britain cruise
