Mid May, 2025
It's time to get sailing again! We've been land bound for just under a year. We built and moved into a new house. Construction was not limited to juse houses as Tom had a refit on his hip. The house is dialed in, the new hip is working well so its time to cast off those lines.
Here's the plan;
Leave Oxford Monday May 12th for Hampton, VA
Pick up crew (Jos & Erica) and head for Bermuda on or about May 18th
Leave Bermuda around June 1st for the Azores
Cruise around the Azores for a couple of weeks. Here's the cool part, our friends Scotty & Beth Brewster from home and our friends Robert and Patty Herman from St. Simons, GA are going to be in the Azores at the same time. Hopefully we'll meet up with both couples.
Pick up new crew (Jonathan & Dorothy) and leave the Azores around July 1st for Ireland.
The ultimate destination is Scotland (say it with an accent). We'll cruise Scotland until October and then put Lyric on the hard for the winter. We'll then go to Sweden and see our friends Happy Pancake whom we met in the Bahamas. They are just the nicest family and can't wait to reconnect. We'll update as we go along. It's going to be one heck of an adventure!
