"Sentinel"
Sentinel is a Roberts 38 steel yacht owned by Andrew and Lyn. This website is a record of our travels after setting off from England in 2005. There are three kinds of page. First are cruising accounts of passages and destinations, with maps and photos; second are miscellaneous happenings, including anecdotes and photo-essays of excursions; and third is Lyn's cruising weblog, a diary of our progress and the highs and lows of the blue-water cruising life.
By putting our stories and photos here, we hope our friends and relatives can read what interests them in their own time, and so not be faced by quite such indigestible amounts on the precious occasions when we get to meet. For anyone else who strays in, welcome! We hope you will find something of interest.
Site last updated: 21st January 2012. Sentinel is now in Pittwater, Sydney; S33º39', E151º18'.
