Spellbinder left Gosport on 23rd May and headed up the North Sea Continental coast to IJmuiden and Amsterdam. She explored the inland canals in the Netherlands in May and early June, then took part in the beginning of the Hallberg Rassy Owners’ Club rally in Zeebrugge. From there she headed to the RYS rally in Northern Brittany, and has just returned to UK. After a mini refit, the plan is to head Southern Brittany later in the summer, with a possible plan to cruise the Spanish Rias in September and overwinter in Portugal.
