Day 122 goodbye blog

Sunset in Whitby
 
Well it's time to say goodbye and as you can imagine it is tinged with sadness as well as happiness. Looking back the trip was not how I had imagined it to be, mainly because of the bad weather that has dogged us for the whole four months. I have a large box of summer clothes and shoes I haven't worn and hardly any outdoor swimming was accomplished. However the places we have been to and the people we have met along the way have made it all worthwhile.

We are driving back tomorrow and will be saying goodbye to the boat but we plan to be back again in about 6 weeks time and we will be popping up to see her every now and then between now and May next year.

We have also enjoyed hosting all our friends and family who have joined us for legs of the trip, so thanks to Dee and Steve, Jo and Jo, Andrew, Jo and Owen, Pauline, Mick and Linda, Frank and Steph who all made the effort to join us and help us on our way. We also had land visits from Scott and Tania in Lowestoft, Frank in Whitby , Lianne in Fraserburgh, Mark Nolan in Inverness, Peter and Olivia in Hull and Sue and Colin in Edinburgh and Glasgow!  We hope you enjoyed your visits and trips with us as much as we enjoyed having you. It is always lovely to see friendly faces from home when you are away for long periods. It will be four months to the date of leaving when we get back and I am looking forward to being home again and catching up with friends and family but nevertheless sad to say au revoir to Lunar Sea.

See you all again soon and the blogs will resume next year, with possibly the occasional one in between. Love to all from Julia, Josh and Lunar Sea.

Day one and two of the Caledonian Canal - the adventure continues

The Lunatic crew for the Caledonian Canal   We entered the  Clachnaharry sea lock at Inverness for the 1.30 lock and were met by a very helpful, calm lock keeper who talked us through. There was a large sign saying Ireland this way! Clachnaharry Sea Lock, the entrance to the Caledonian Canal, The Great Glen, Loch Ness and Ireland! The lock was timed so that you could then sail through the railway swing bridge, then on to the Muirhead flight of four locks. We had relaxed once we got on to the canal, thinking things could only get better and there is much less to worry about in a canal as opposed to being out at sea, no tides to think about for example. How wrong we were, we were forgetting this is the Lunacy cruise. At the second lock Mick fell in! We heard a plop and a splash and Mick had fallen into the lock between the lock wall and the boat. Josh's quick thinking saved the day as he put the long swim ladder over the edge and Mick managed to climb up befor...

Day 48 and the return to our home port of Ramsgate.

Lunar Sea and her crew back in Ramsgate  Dear Readers, we finally arrived back in Ramsgate five years after setting off on 1 May 2017. The weather then had been atrocious, but it couldn't have been more different for our return. It was promised to be the hottest day of the year, so we had plenty of sunshine and not very much wind. lt did pick up to about 12 knots as we approached Ramsgate, so we managed to get the sails up and the flags flying for our entrance to Ramsgate.  Leaving Dover, heading for the Eastern entrance,  on our way home now. It had been an uneventful 4 hour trip from Dover to Ramsgate, but for some reason the unusually hot weather had created an optical illusion and we had a really clear view of France as we passed Deal. Perhaps it is the high pressure, not sure why?  France, shall we go there instead? We had Josh's daughter Jo on board and Owen and Jordan, two of Josh's grandchildren, joined us in Dover for the day sail. When we got to the approac...

  Hello again from Lunar Sea in Portishead. The boat has been here for two years now and we are continuing our adventure from tomorrow, the 31st May, by locking out of Portishead Marina (near Bristol in case you wondered) and we will be heading for Penarth Marina (near Cardiff) for our first stop. Then on to Padstow via Watchet for a night's stay and then probably an anchorage for one night off Clovelly, to break up the 18 hour trip from Watchet to Padstow.  We have been so lucky to have found this charming marina which has been Lunar Sea's home for two years, we will be sad to leave, but excited to be on the homeward stretch of our marathon around the UK sailing trip. It was supposed to take 2 years, but due to bad weather in year 1 and a mutinous crew, plus the pandemic in the third and fourth year, it will have taken 5 years (assuming we get back to Ramsgate this year, watch this space!) Wish us luck, calm seas and a good wind. I will try and do a daily blog, sailing condit...
