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.

Storm dimishes - day 2

Well - day 2 was full of excitment  - thought we were going to head for higher ground - rented a PT Cruiser - went into Placencia for breakfast - came back to find that the storm headed south of us - relief - the boat did not go into the mangroves for safekeeping - the staff works on Companion because most of the other boats were taken into the mangroves - Max and Kate cooked dinner tonight - delicious veggie burritos - love boat food!! we will sleep on the boat tonight - maybe we will have some rain  - but it is calm and quiet here now  -  We are planning on inspecting the boat further tomorrow - taking inventory and organizing our "stuff"... all is well on this new homefront!!   One of the good things about all this rain - we will make sure our hatches do not leak!!  Sleep tight friends!!  k

    Glad to hear everything has calmed down for now. We are having a beautiful fall day. The sail boats are out on the Sound, nice.
