2008:
In early 2008, Taniwani was still waiting in
Richardsbay, but by September we arrived in mainland Portugal where we had
started our world tour in early 2004, just short of 10,000 miles from
Richardsbay. Our tour went round southern Africa, with stops at Mossel Bay and
Cape Town. Then on to the island of St. Helena and across the South Atlantic to
Brazil. After some 3 months in Brazil, we sailed the long haul up north to the
Azores, explored most of the islands there, before sailing to Madeira to meet up
with friends and family and then completed our tours of 2008 sailing the short trip back to the mainland where we
kept Taniwani over the winter in the very sheltered marina of Albufeira.
The detailed reports below end with our arrival in
Horta.
