Welcome
to the blog of
sailing vessel Melos (svmelos)
and
to her crew
Janet and Jeremy
Hood
This web diary will (hopefully) describe the upcoming voyage
of Melos and her crew as she returns to the UK after an absence of twenty
years. In 1988 Jeremy set off from Falmouth, England aboard Melos to sail across the Atlantic. His trip took him to the Caribbean and from
there to Florida and later Texas.
It was in Seabrook,
Texas that he met Janet and the
two have been together since. In 1995 Janet took Melos to Bermuda, completing
the passages from Florida to Bermuda
and back singlehandedly. Now it is 2008 and Janet and Jeremy are soon to leave
Seabrook and head towards Falmouth,
England where,
all being well, they should arrive by early August, almost exactly 20 years to
the day when Jeremy left.
This blog will hopefully document the preparations still to
be made and the trip to come.
