PLANS DELAYED... But A New Sailing Adventure Awaits!

Hi everyone,
This isn’t the update we’d hoped to share, but after much thought, it’s the right one. We’d planned to leave this week to cross Biscay, but a major issue at our house has forced us to delay. The underfloor heating pipes have failed throughout the ground floor, so the whole space needs rebuilding — a huge job we can’t postpone.
While disappointing, we know this is the best decision. The Biscay season is closing, and rushing would have left little time to gain experience or enjoy the journey. Instead, we’ll spend the coming months fixing the house, working, and building our sailing skills, with plans to set off properly at the start of the 2026 season.
In the meantime, we’re still sailing! In two weeks we join a yacht delivery from Sardinia to the UK and will document the trip. We’ll also be at Southampton Boat Show on Friday 19th September with Kemp Sails, who’ve helped us with our new mainsail and refurbished genoa. Our goals now are to get our coastal skipper license, take on more crewing opportunities, and focus on videos, our website, and t-shirts.
Delays aside, we see more positives than negatives — more time, more miles, and more preparation for the adventure ahead.
Thank you for all your support,
Ashley & Eloise⛵💙
