The Route
November '11 - after sailing, and surfing, down rthe West Coast of Sumatra we headed out into the Indian Ocean. A bit of wind helped us make good time to the remote Cocos Keeling Islands.
After that .... a longer passage across the Infian Ocean, with a stop at Mauritius; then Madagasca. We arrived in South Africa in early November - and maybe we 'll make Cape Town by Christmas.
Early 2012, hopefully after a good spell of maintenance, we will cross the South Atlantic to Brazil, continue North towards Canada before crossing back across the Atlantic to Europe before the winter. Phew, its gonna be a rush and I wouldn't be surprised if we have to stop for a breather for a year or so somewhere along the way...
From April'12 - a bit of a question mark here! The Caribbean? More of South and Central America? Watch our wandering wake ...

The Plan
For now the plan is to sail back home to Wales, and from there we'll see what Lilly brings us. We are often asked “So what are you going to do?” and we feel obliged to give an answer: ideally we would not have a fixed plan, especially considering we rely so much on the wind and weather for timing, So we keep things as open as possible and try to commit as little as possible to dates - which may be tricky for crew trying to find us, but that’s the nature of it, you may just have to buy tickets at the last minute.
