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 back in Falmouth, having left Gosport on 6th July and heading direct to Dartmouth and Penzance before enjoying 9 excellent days in Scilly.  Plans for later in August did feature the Spanish rias, but returning quarantine procedures appear to have stymied them.  It may be Brittany!
