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.

Just Andy!

Most of you know that our girls mean the world to us … and as they choose and have chosen their life partners we just have to say we are blessed…. so on that note:


We are so thankful that Andy shares the love of sailing with Danylle – and
the fact that he can make her laugh till she shakes!!
What a team!

It doesn’t matter what he is doing – he pretty much loves life!!
Anything for a fresh baguette!


As you can see – he can chill on the bow of Companion….doesn’t that looks grand?
What more can you ask for ... a hammock on the bow, 
an ice cold Heinken and warm weather!  

Life is good for Andy!!

Thanks, you two for coming again …
