Having sold my previous boat in early 2015, the much loved Misty, a Moody 346, I purchased Henrietta, a Najad 391 (The voyages of Misty are here)

And so, here we go.

This is it: the life and times of the yacht, Henrietta. It’s the tale of our travels from mid-2015 to date (currently early 2024).

We, that’s Henrietta and I, Michael, have been together all that time except for a few months of 21/‘22. We’ve pottered around the English Channel, cruised around an Atlantic Circuit (2015-2016); meandered our way right around the world (2016-2021); and enjoyed a Canary Island/Azores Circuit (2022-2023); and crossed the Atlantic again (about 70,000 miles in total so far).

New posts are added every two months or so, but don’t be surprised if you don’t see anything new for a while. I might be busy or have little to say, feel uninspired or just be lazy.

A problem with firm plans and inherent indecisiveness mean we never know where we might go next.

That, I feel, is one of the many joys of the nomadic sailing life. You can end up anywhere.
