Matt & Karen's Soggy Adventure: Where we have been - a map of it all
Keep this up & then when whereii comes up in conversations I can simply say 'yeah, I'll check' & alot of time can be saved avoiding explanations I don;t understand anyway.

I like this map but it now needs updating as I can't imagine the Canary Islands clearly and whereto from here.

It is not how far we have come - but what we have done - which isn't much - just basically laze around marinas, bays and bars pretending we know what we are doing - But the Atlantic in October!!!!

Hi Guys, found this site after a google for marina agadir. Happy sailing! Spent winter onboard in Canaries, La Palma was a favorite, both Taz and La palma. Gomera nice too if you are still in La Palma and fancy a days sail, San Sebastion nice and good anchorage in Valle Gran Rey. I'm in Azores now but prob go Morocco (again) via Madeira. Enjoy!

Andy,
sorry the updates are a bit thin on the ground - our life has been fairly busy - we get up around 9:00, have breakfast, a few games of spider solitaire and then it is off to the pool to work on my tan until beer time. We then have dinner and watch a video (finished the whole series of friends, half way through northern exposure and sex in the city and just started My name is Earl). Then it is off to bed to do it all again tomorrow - so I find it hard to fit the time in for the blog.
Yes that is me in the kitchen with the long hair - it is now almost down to my shoulders now - not too hard when you don't have a neck. Also thank Neil for not focusing on the lack of hair on the top and and tell him Mr Incredible is enjoying the trip - I hope his kids aren't missing him too much.
Matt

Hey Guys,
we have absolutely no idea (about where we are heading and I suppose a lot of other things). We are in the process of replanning as it looks like we are not going across the pond to the Caribbean this year but are heading back into Europe and the Med. (Well that is today anyway). I will let you know what we are doing and watch the map on the blog.
Cheers
Karen & Matt
