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.

Azamara Journey - The ship

The Cruise

The deck plan for Azamara Journey is online at https://www.google.com/search?q=azamara+journey+deck+plan&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari.
Azamara at Queens Dock

On March 9, at 9:30 we took Ubers the 1 1/2 mile to Queens Dock where Azamara Journey waited for it’s anxious guests to board. Our passports were checked, temperatures taken and champagne poured. We made it, hopefully the coronavirus did not. As a newbie, we followed Steve to the sign-in table for a few upgrade dinners in the boat’s primer dining rooms. Then it was off to the buffet for lunch. In that short hour of check-in, boat card distribution, dinner reservations, and champagne we had received 3 doses of liquid sanitizer. The buffet was plentiful and
outstanding. The itinerary for our Cruise was:
