Hi Dear Holly that sounds great what's the pony called? Where is it going to live? Today the wether is just like Dartmouth in the winter great. Yesterday I found a shell that is used for purple dye weird how are you all
My address Is cameronduncan2002@yahoo.co.uk
Speak soon
From Gill Holly - thanks for your lovely message. Too bad we can't meet this year in the Canaries. I will get Cameron to respond to you properly rather than from a grumpy old monkey like me. Big love to you all xxx
Loving reading your tales. It's like watching Downton Abbey ..... can't wait for the next episode!!! The boys were delighted with their postcard from your smaller crew members, emails to follow. Lots of love to all from of us. Xxxxx
Your news How was rugby yesterday? Have they had their first match yet? All is fine here in the Balearics. Any chance of a lastminute.com flight for you to get some late summer sun and G&Ts?

Hello from over the road!! So great to see you are having a fab time... Sam is currently at a party, but will get him to write Samuel a message very soon. I love the story of the dolphins Cameron... it is very descriptive! It all looks very chilled and so glad that the locals are all treating you well. Tom and I went to Corisca on our honeymoon so it was lovely to hear your account of it. Sam is settling into his new school, and we are all getting used to the new routine... of two at different schools. Sam is also enjoying topsham rugby ... he is finally in... and getting used to contact!. Evie is enjoying class 2 although finds the increase work load and less play a bit of a shock. She has just been to Tiffanys party dressed up as an indian! So the village hall antics are still continuing in your absence. The family that are in your house are very nice and seem to have settled in very well, in fact the husband is doing work experience in the school... (Or at least I am pretty sure that is him!!).
Any way enough of my waffle... take care of your selves and keep on enjoying your amazing adventure!
Love to you all

YOur news... Thanks so much for your update. Sounds like you have a lot going on. The boys are badly missing their friends and rugby in particular!
Best wishes,
Gill
Wow - quite a lot going on. And, was that a photo of Gill in speedos on the beach!!! The girls want to know if Samuel will be back in time for school Sports Day - they want to make it three years in a row for Team Salmon!! Love to all. Jackie x
Budgie / peanut smuggling! Yes 'twas I in speedos - hopefully not too offensive! Samuel and Cam not likely to be there for the most important day of the academic year - apologies! xxx
U nutters!! Oh my goodness, I didn't realise you were off for a year!!! I thought it was just a little holiday. What an amazing adventure for the boys xxx love you and miss you all xxx
Missed Wedding Natalie, is Sole your new name? How are you - so sorry we had to miss your wedding. Now in Corsica. Lovely place - would be lovely to hear your news, Gill & Lisa xx
Just catching up ... Hi Huns, just caught up on your action. Didn't recognise Aunt "Curly Sue" Sally for a mo!! Letter arrived from boys this morning so will give to H when she gets home from school and she will email over weekend. Missing you all lots - suggested to girls that we have a "skype" night when we can get you on screen & all catch up. Glad to see "the Admiral" is looking fit & tanned ;-) Still working on Oct half term trip & will let you know what plans are when I have some (aka get Mr T organised .. oh the effort). Boys - keep up the studies, just hope your Mum hasn't turned into Miss Trunchball from Matilda! Lots of love Debsx
GREAT TO CATCH UP ON YOUR ADVENTURE GUYS Chicos!
Thanks to Gil's email regarding the return leg, I checked on the blog link at the bottom. Like a true techie(not!) I thought when you guys posted on the blog the subscribers to your blog would get a message on email to alert us! Hey ho, I have now gone through the adventure so far and I am completely envious but so pleased you are all doing well. Ed and I will continue to check on your updates from now for sure!
Safe sailing guys!
Paul and Ed x
Hello Sailor! Dear Paul,
Are you going to be able to visit? What are your best dates / times of year and we can try to coordinate where we will be. Cuba would be amazing and having two native speakers would be brilliant. If you fancy the return leg we still have a vacancy...?
Gill & the Gang.
Back to school Jackie, Lisa is missing the schoolyard interaction I think more than the boys are missing school. They are missing the other kids but school... not so much! All the best, Gill and Lisa x
Enjoying reading the updates! Hey guys, really enjoying reading of you travels! I'm now in Valencia, hopefully move into my new flat tomorrow. Are you lot planning on swinging by Valencia on your way through? Lots of love. Auntie Kate xx
11th September Hi Kate, Not sure yet where we will go along that coast as we are now in Corsica and still have a few islands to get to and a mistral on the way! Good luck with your move. Will speak soon xxxx

Lisa, Gill, Cameron and Samuel have left their comfortable lives in Devon to fulfil a long-held dream to sail the Atlantic as a family. We normally live in Devon but are now embarking aboard Fabiola, Grandpa's beautiful Grand Soleil 52. We start in Turkey and are heading through the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic and around the Caribbean before bringing Fabiola back to the UK. This is our story... ... full info
