WELCOME

Hi. Welcome to the blog pages of Happy Daze.

Ivan and Angela plan to set sail in May, from Scarborough, on the Yorkshire East coast, on a journey around the shores of the UK and Ireland. We will head south, and will travel the right way (clockwise) around the British Isles until we get back to Scarborough, but plan to take our time and enjoy the journey.

We will have our dive kit with us, and intend to jump in and explore the inshore waters at every opportunity. It may be to look at something we know is there (a wreck?), just have a look around to see what we can find, or to get something tasty for supper!

The boat has been extensively re-fitted, and work still goes on to get her ready for the off. Since we brought the boat back from Wells-next-the-Sea she has been known as Wild and Free, but our preparations for the trip will include a re-naming ceremony, and she will be known as Happy Daze.

Please keep in touch to find out how we get on in our preparations and our journey around the coast.

Angela & Ivan

Leg 10

Swanage to Portland Marina. 6/7/10
Well after a good few days at anchor in Swanage time to move on. There was not much wind, and
of course it was on the nose as usual so we motored along to Portland. A beautiful stretch of coastline. We got 'moved along' in the firing range off Warbarrow bay! Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door looked good through the binoculars!! Portland harbour is massive with tankers at anchor in the bay and navy ships in the harbour. The marina is brand new, ready to be the sailing centre for the olympics. The showers were the best ever!! We cycled into Weymouth which has a very pretty old harbour area and very long beach full of kids n very pink people!!
