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.

Bittersweetness


This morning we are preparing for the final leg of this voyage. 

Leaving Marina Papagayo is bittersweet.
Dale and I fell in love with Costa Rica here.
It has been an incredibly positive experience here.

Celebrating 32 years 

We love the people, the country, the culture … it is a happy place.

We will always have fond memories of our time here and all of the folks who made it happen for us … 
Thank you Marina Papagayo! 
Dan and Crew you made it really special for us …
a great way to end our almost 2 year adventure!

We will be back to visit - there is no doubt!

this is the view we had every morning off the bow of Companion


It is with "sweetness" that we will soon be "home" ....
