The summer cruise in 2002 was quite a bit longer than
Taniwani's first two summer trips, both in time and distance. In this wonderful
summer, Taniwani sailing a contrasting western Europe for two and a half months,
covering over 3,500 miles.
The tour started in Scotlands Clyde area, where
Taniwani had safely spent the winter in Ardrossan's Clyde Marina. From there it
went on to Northern Ireland, and then west around Ireland, down to the south
western end of Ireland.
The next part was a longer (7 days exact) passage of
1280 miles to Horta on the Azores Island of Faial. After some cruising in the
Azores, we went on further south to Madeira, where we spent time with friends
and parents.
Finally Taniwani sailed back up towards the Iberian
peninsula, with landfall in Cadiz, and from there cruised along the Costa del
Luz and the Algarve, to the final destination of Lagos Marina, to spend the next
winter there.
