The Plan
Our travels start on 6th September 2021 with a one-way ferry from Portsmouth to Santander.
From there we head south through Spain to Gibraltar and cross into Morocco to meet our convoy in Fez.
The first 2-3 years are planned to be spent exploring the magnificent continent of Africa after which we hope to ship to India.
A couple of years in Asia should see us shipping to Australia for as long as our visas will allow.
Next stop Chile and then northwards through the Americas into Canada then on to Alaska.
The Bearing Straights lead to Russia, Mongolia and the Stans. We eventually aim to re-enter Europe from the east then up to Scandanavia and Iceland.
