The travels
of yacht
"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 photo-essays of excursions and anecdotes; and third is Lyn's cruising weblog, a diary of our progress and the highs and lows of the blue-water cruising life. This has been restructured for 2010 with a page for each entry.

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: 10th January 2010. Sentinel is now in Whangarei, New Zealand; S35º43', E174º20'.
