Welcome to our website.

Our website is a record of all of our travels, including time spent in UK, other trips away from our boat, a seventeen month stint in Dubai setting up a seaplane operation, the sale of our first boat, "Dream On" and the transition to our new Leopard catamaran "Dreaming On."

We hope you enjoy the site.

Updates are a little irregular, dependent on our access to wi-fi links.

Our Travel Log follows where we’ve been and our experiences along the way.  New photographs will be added to our Photo Diary with insights into the places we have visited as we go.

It is said that cruisers' plans are drawn in the sand. With every tide, plans change!

We should have been in Belize by now, (Plan A), or Bonaire, (Plan B). But, we're still in the Virgin Islands.

Still trying to sort out the engine installation that is a legacy of poor workmanship in Fort Lauderdale. Just Catamarans Inc were supervising the engine change and unfortunately sub-contracted the actual removal and installation work to Kemplon Marine Engineering Services. Kemplon neglected to check the changed engine footprint before they installed the engines. They modified the mountings and the engine beds, (badly) and it was all downhill from there.

Their amateur installation resulted in us arriving in the BVI with engines barely fixed, let alone aligned, a bent prop shaft causing our prop to drop off. 

This fiasco has cost us 3 months in time so far, let alone in cost of repairs.

It looks like we'll be leaving the boat in Puerto Rico for the hurricane season.

 Just Catamarans let us down on this one so unfortunately we can no longer recommend them. And as for Kemplon. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a boat.
