I’m delighted to report that this blog has won the 2019 Cruising Association’s Lacey Trophy, for the best member’s website or blog covering cruising in the year.  I was due to collect my prize in London on 25th March but like everything else the event has been postponed.  Thank you to all my crew who have helped me contribute to the blog over recent months.

Spellbinder is now in the West Country, having left Gosport on 6th July and heading direct to Dartmouth.  The plan is to head to Scilly later this month, and head back to Cornwall, leaving her in Falmouth for a while at the start of August,  before potentially heading to La Coruña and the Spanish rias.
