Red Roo journey - Year 1 in Blue & Year 2 in Red © SV Red Roo

We set sail from Le Havre (France) in November 2015 to explore Europe and beyond with the plan to eventually sail our way back home to Australia.

However Australia is a long way off, we have heaps to see on the way so the more immediate (current) plan is... Explore Europe.

No timeframe, no hurry, no expectations but to enjoy and do so at the mercy of the wind, the tide and the current – not to fight it but to go with it.

So far, over the last two years we have sailed and explored France, the Channel Islands, England (the South West coasts), the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, England (East coast), The Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden & Denmark... want to know more continue below for detail.
