The first post

Some of you will have seen the blog we ran for Gentoo of Ardwall's Round Britain voyage in 2008.

The Sampasite blog website is sadly no longer operating so this is a new version - hope that you'll find it reasonably user-friendly!

We have a new (to us) boat - Maunie of Ardwall - a Vancouver 38 Pilot launched in 1997. We'll update you with sailing news, starting with our plans for a trip to Southern Ireland in May 2010.
