Four Year Crazy Eight on Milly

Barbados to Barbados, January 12, 2016 to February 8, 2020 - A Crazy Eight

The Atlantic Circle is a classic sailing route often completed by Europeans on their way to and from the Caribbean and home.  It typically includes Gibraltar, The Canary Islands, plus or minus Cabo Verde, The Caribbean Islands, Bermuda, The Azores, Gibraltar.  Variations, extensions, starting points, length of voyage vary.  But necessary is a completed circle.

Upon reaching Port St. Charles, Barbados on February 8, 2020, Peter and I had, without intention, landed in a location we had enjoyed four years before.  Our completed circuit, more an eight than a circle, was a bit bottom heavy with a year long dipsy-doodle north along the windward islands in the Caribbean and a very confused circumnavigation of the Mediterranean.  A crazy eight is a better description.

It's been quite a passage!
