The Sailaway Logbook 2012 The objective of our logbook is to document our travels and experiences, allowing our family and friends (both of them!) to keep up to date with our progress. Our aim is to see "the real countries" as we travel, staying away from the heavily commercialised areas when ever possible. We hope you enjoy the content, any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.

We bring in the 2012 New Year in the UK, Sailaway tucked up safely on The Yacht Classic Hotel pontoon, in Fethiye, Turkey. The year of 2011 saw us traveling through February, coming to rest in our winter berth in November. We enjoyed the empty waters, anchorages and ports, visiting areas that we would have avoided due to "crowding" in the peak months. The volatile weather also took it's toll, more caution was obviously needed, adding a further challenge, all great fun. This year (2012) is the first year we return to Sailaway without a "plan", a number of reasons being the cause, both personal and political. We had initially hoped to venture out into the Indian Ocean and beyond, a bi-annual rally cancelled due to the pirate activity. The political unrest in the Arab countries casts a shadow over our desires, we would have loved to traveled further east but decide against it. It is almost "let's see where we end up?"
