We are sailors from West Mersea UK – Jonathan and Avril. We have cruised the Blackwater for the past 20 years and spent the past 2 winters in the Heybridge Basin UK.
This is our cruising adventures aboard “Moonshine ”, a 1983 Windboat 44 with our trusty crew member, Dolly. Dolly is our 6 year old Bedlington Terrier who has earned the title ‘Chief Officer.’ She likes being on the boat with us and taking charge , she is top dog!!!!!
We’re getting ready for the 2013 sailing Adventure where we plan to visit France , Spain and Portugal and return to the UK in a few years time.
Hope you enjoy our blog and to all our friends and family please keep in touch
