Sail with the Flo – from England back to England – via the rest of the world
Sailing through the Caribbean to the beautiful islands of Les Saints. After thousands of miles of Ocean Sailing, we are enjoying the change of pace in the Caribbean. Shorter distances between countries means we have more time to explore this sailing mecca, where the living is easy. Oh and why we hate moorings!

What is it like to SAIL AROUND THE WORLD? We spent the last 6 years sailing offshore across oceans through storms and calms, meeting new cultures and overcoming challenges. THIS IS OUR STORY of 6 years at sea, sailing full circle around the world. Sailing around the world was our dream, this is the story of how we made that dream come true.

Sailing to Tobago is not supposed to be easy, but it is not supposed to be this bad! Sailing upwind against the current became more difficult when we were hit by a 35 knot squall. We also caught a massive fish and experienced the delights of cruising Tobago, culminating in Carnival.

Offshore sailing in the Doldrums, a sailors nightmare. Join us as we plot our way through frustrating calms and challenging squalls sailing from South America to Trinidad. With nothing to see but sea sky, we had our heads in the clouds as nature painted a beautiful skyscape above us.

Sailing overnight along the coast of South America we turn left and navigate off the charts up a jungle river. Taking a sailboat into the jungle is a real change of scenery after all the ocean sailing we have done recently.

We fix the damage to Florence from our South Atlantic Ocean crossing and explore French Guiana in South America. We explore Devils island and share how the film Papillion may have taken some liberties with artistic license and the European space centre launches an Arianne 5 rocket over Florence’s mast.

Sailing the final leg of our 4th major Ocean crossing we have one last challenge, to cross the uncertain weather of the doldrums. Light and fluky winds find us drifting towards the finishing post, but a friendly dolphin escort keeps our spirits up.

Sailing into ROUGH SEAS for a 1300 mile offshore ocean passage with RUM FOR BREAKFAST as we cross the equator for the 4th time back into the northern hemisphere.
