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.

My Cook/ Mt Aoraki and Farm Stay 2



Mount Aoraki (Mt. Cook) is the highest peak in New Zealand at about 11,700 feet and the mountaineering center of New Zealand is in Mt. Cook village.  On a sunny day the mountain looks like the image to the right, but the picture below and at the Church of the Good Shepherd below right is all we could see. But we did get a long view of Mt Cook on the day we left the farm stay.
