Our plan for Spring 2020 was to sail down the coast of Spain from our wintering location at Port Napoleon in southern France and cross the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier, Morocco.
This plan was abruptly halted as the Covid 19 pandemic traveled worldwide. About 2 weeks prior to our departure, a global lockdown halted travel and self isolation was encouraged as we watched the cases/deaths increase in France and Spain and start in Canada. Uncertainty set in.
Calgary had an unseasonably cold spring – the snow would not let up. We tried to make the best of this unusual situation but longed for the warm Mediterranean and a good sail on Chinook. We settled for Baby Chinook on our mountain lake Windermere but just not the same.
Now into July, we watched closely as Europe started to open up the borders to nonEU countries. Canada was on the list! It’s looked promising for continuing our travels later this summer. Stay tuned…
