Welcome family, friends,
cyber-sailors, and anyone else who has stumbled
onto this page. Redwings
is a Peterson 46 currently being sailed from Hong
Kong to Camden, Maine in the United States,
and someday onwards. We left Hong Kong in
November 1997 and are heading slowly West. Click

Update:
We arrived on 11 July 2000 in Puerto Calero on
the Canary Island of Lanzarote after a relatively fast
three and a half day trip from Gibraltar (see Barcelona
to Canary Islands). We have just "put the boat to
bed" during a week of hanging out in Puerto Calero
(see Winding Down in Lanzarote), and have headed back to
Thailand for a few months of work before returning in
early November to prepare the boat for the Atlantic
Crossing. We have decided to participate in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers and will be departing with
the fleet from Las Palmas Grand Canaria on 19 November
and should arrive in the Carribean about three weeks
later!
Its
the 2nd of November and we are winding up at work in
Bangkok. We'll be flying back to "Lanzagrotty"
on Saturday and will be back sleeping on Redwings on
Sunday the 6th. The boat has been hauled and the bottom
painted while we were away as well as lots of other jobs
(we hope!) We are looking forward to getting back to the
cruising life soon! Start checking for updates more often
over the next two months. Also, we've just added some
pictures to the Lanzarote section. Have
a look.
Recent
History: After traveling from Italy via Menorca
(see Italy to Spain), we arrived in Barcelona on
10 September, 1998, tied up the boat, and did not budge.
We spent a great 1998/99 winter there (see Wintering
in Spain)
but then got a call in April 1999 to head back to Asia to
help build a start up company with friends in Thailand
(check out newthailand.com). One year later we are
still working, but have negotiated a "three months
on one month off" type of arranement which will
hopefully allow us to keep sailing while at the same time
bringing in a bit of cashola. Works for us at this point
in life. We arrived back in Barcelona on 16 June 2000 to
prepare the boat for the one-month trip to the Canary
Islands (see Leaving Barcelona).
