9/10/10 - Anacortes WA
Kim, Mike, and I are finishing some last minute detail for our voyage. Last weekend we had an awesome time at our daughter's wedding in Portland. Thank you to all of our friends who made it a special event. We hope to post weekly on our progress.
Welcome to the voyage of the Oldis' as we sail from Belize to Seattle on our 40 foot Leopard Catamaran, SV Companion.
A short history of SV Companion -
In April of 2005, Kim and I signed an agreement to purchase a Leopard Catamaran and place it in the Moorings Charter Program for 5 years.
Buying the last 40' Catamaran built in 2005 by Robinson and Caine of South Africa, the boat was to be chartered in Placencia, Belize. It arrived in Belize in late November, and was used by Moorings Chartering until June of 2010. During that time, we were able to sail our boat many times, and have a few charters in other parts of the world; LaPaz Mexico, Abaco Bahama, British Virgin Islands, Nice France, Gocek Turkey (Turquoise Coast).
Max , our nephew and his dad, Mike will be joining, Kim and I for part of the voyage. We are also looking forward to meeting family and friends along the way.
Our blog is intended to share our journey, memories and information to sailors.
Enjoy, Dale & Kim
PS: 10 years after the start of our voyage, we are living in LaConner with SV Companion and the adventure continues.
Yes, you two put on a fabulous party. And what a wonderful reason to celebrate!
