Farewell

So after all the delays (lack of gas in CT, captain's payment issues, blah blah blah) it looks like Tuesday is go time. We'll spend today clearing out at customs, getting passports stamped, etc and will be on our way early tomorrow morning.

This will be the last blog update untill we reach the Caribbean, wish us well! 34 days at sea will certainly have it's challenges but we are up for anything and so excited for all the things we'll see.

Farewell all, will let you know when we reach the other side,

Playing the waiting game...

Yacht isn't ready yet so still waiting in Cape Town, they are just busy with final touches and it looks like we should be out of here Tuesday 8th Nov the latest. 

Getting a bit frustrated now as it keeps getting pushed out further and further, oh well we're having a great time on Cape Town so far in any case.

We've been on 2 quick trial runs so far and neither of us have been sea sick - we'll see how long that lasts. Anyway here are a couple photo's.




Our home for 34 days

Waiting in Cape Town in a roof top apartment isn't so bad

Luckily this isn't the boat we're taking accross

This is where the magic happens

The Navigating Nomads

As some of you may know we recently resigned from our jobs and made the decision to take a risk, sell up the little that we own and embark on an Atlantic crossing aboard a 52ft catamaran yacht from Cape Town to the Caribbean, from there we intend on finding work on a yacht, traveling and generally enjoying life :)

To anyone who is interested in what we are up to, where in the world we are, photo's from our travel's, etc this is your one stop shop. We'll keep you updated as often as possible or whenever we have any interesting news to share. Feel free to leave comments, we would also like to know what you're all up to back home.

Keep well,

Lloyd & Jess
