  • Entering Virgin Waters?

    Would have been cool to see Dignity’s latest position. Today, we should have seen her crossing the Anegada passage but I didn’t get the uplink. By now she should be settled down in Virgin Gorda.

  • Nearly there

    Very nearly there.  By tomorrow afternoon, Dignity should be settled into Virgin Gorda.  Next day Nanny Cay.

    I spoke to CatCo on Friday. The favourite option for the skippers is to check in to the BVIs in Virgin Gorda then head to Nanny Cay the following day. So we can now expect Dignity to arrive in VG on the 27th and Nanny Cay on the 28th.

    In the meantime I have been editing and uploading movies taken on the video camera and still cameras to YouTube then providing links from this site. Check them out – not all are uploaded yet but a few are available.

  • Less than 1,000nm to go

    Dignity has less than 1,000nm to go.

    It’s difficult getting back into land life. Feels a little like I’m living in shades of gray and lost all the colour in life.

    Nevertheless, this land life is a necessary part of our future. We still have the family to build as well as the cruising fund. Gotta keep soldiering on. Already looking forward to next February when we’ll spend a week on Dignity – finally.

    Last Sunday I checked out Timeless to make sure all things are ok. Very little water in the bilge and the engine started perfectly. I couldn’t resist taking her out for a solo spin. The responsiveness of a monohull was much more noticeable in comparison to the Privilege cat we were on for the last 3 weeks. I can see why diehard sailors prefer monohulls. Not that this changes my mind in any way about Dignity. When we eventually travel on Dignity most of our time will be spent stationary with the boat acting as our home. That drives our preferences far more than sailing performance.

  • ETA

    Here’s another attempt at an ETA. July 27th. Let’s see how close I am.
