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 Seven

Fri 25 June
Dover to Eastbourne.
After doing the castle ( very impressive) and piers ( a bygone era) we are ready for new places to explore so despite wind still on the nose we have an early start and head west. Engine all the way with sails up briefly to help ish!! Flat seas and the hours now seem to fly by. We arrive after 10 hours at sea but it feels like only 2 or 3!! The marina is amazing - a whole town built up around it. We go for beers n curry (it is Friday afterall, and we are celebrating completing the purchase of the North Panhouse croft on Eday. Weather very sunny now, I think summer has arrived from the west!
