Next Year

It is never too soon to think about next year.


(A bonxie, probably contemplating the future)

Much though we love Troon, we have decided that we need to end up somewhere warmer next year.
Our plan is to sail to Spain.
This epic will be undertaken in a series of legs. The first leg will be determined by my arduous responsibilities at Essex Polytechnic.

So, approximately:

Leg one      Troon to Shannon

Troon         15th March 2015
Campbeltown
Glenarm
Rathlin Isles
Portrush
Lough Foyle
Sheep Haven
Bloody Foreland
Inishkeel
Killybegs
Sligo
Killala
Broadhaven
Westport
Ballynakill
Aran Islands
eventually to Kilrush Marina in the Shannon Estuary, and  Ryan Air back home by about 10th April.


Sailing


Leg two     Shannon to Cornwall

Kilrush          12th June 2015 (Ryan Air)
thence:
around Ireland 
Milford Haven
Isles of Scilly
Newlyn
Plymouth

Sunset


Leg three     Cornwall to Spain

Plymouth             Mid July 2015
Brittany
L'Aberwrac'h
Audierne
Across the Bay of Biscay

Biscay

A Coruna
Explore Galicia
Ria De Vigo    Mid September

Fly home, feed dog, cut grass, plan 2016

Any takers?
