The American Adventure
The American Adventure started with
"Gladlee" being shipped over to the States from Palma, Mallorca in
Nov/Dec 2004 and we then cruised in US waters until July 2005. These
diaries can be found at:
The American
Adventure.
At the end of July 2005, we took "Gladlee"
out of the water for storage at Deltaville Marina and returned to Oman for Ron
to take up a job with IOGS. The Oman diaries can be found at
OMAN or the Oman button on the Home Page.
From 3rd to 17th October 2006 we decided to
take a holiday and hired an RV (Recreation Vehicle) from near Washington in the
US, to see how we liked this way
of travelling. These diaries can be found at:
RV Trip.
We spent about two and a half years in Oman
and left again in January 2008 to cruise with our friends Frank and Tari on
their catamaran "Vision" in the Caribbean. The diary for this can be
found at:
Caribbean
cruise onboard s/Cat "Vision" 7th February to 15th April 2008.
We left them in Puerto Rico and flew up to
Washington, and then drove back to "Gladlee" in Deltaville where we
recommissioned her and started cruising again. In June 2009 we decided to put
the boat back in storage and buy an RV and go 'land' cruising. The diaries
can be found at:

travelled back out to Oman, Ron resuming his job with IOGS. We stayed for two
years and then went back out to the US to sail on "Gladlee" and travel
with "Harvey".
Continuing our travels in America, we arrived back in Deltaville on 8th
June 2012.
