Barberry Tales

This is where I’ll share our sailing adventures as Fraser and I set off in our small sailboat to sail from Bangor in Northern Ireland all the way to Turkey in the eastern Mediterranean. You can follow our journey as we tack and gybe our way southwards, then east, then south again in a wiggly line, then east, south, east, south, east. 

Where was I?

Not Always Plain Sailing

In this blog, we go aground (twice), and fail to impress anyone with our docking and undocking manoeuvres in a stiff crosswind. We also visit some waterfalls and the grave of the German archaeologist, Wilhelm Dörpfeld.

Barberry needs Emergency Shock Treatment

This week Fraser has a shock when Barberry’s starter battery dies unexpectedly, leading to a change in plans. We also catch up with old friends from the French canals.

Better Late Than Never!

This week we head back to Greece, although we almost failed at the first hurdle: checking in for our flight!

What we did this Summer (the cold bit)

A quick photo montage to show you what we got up to during a few months of chilly weather in Northern Ireland, between trips to Greece.
