Plot our Progress

It was always our intention to leave the UK destination, Caribbean.  That is now fact. We have travelled more than 5000 miles from the UK, through France, Northern Spain, Portugal, to the Canaries, the Cape Verdes Islands before crossing the Atlantic. We made landfall in Antigua where we stayed for 3 months before heading south to Grenada to sit out hurricane season.  So you could say that progress has stopped for the now at least. As to what next, who knows…
