In 2008 I and a number of friends took ZAMORA to Malta, via Eire, Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, the Balearics, Sardinia and Sicily, and did some late season sailing around Malta and Gozo. After laying up in Malta for the winter, the 2009 season was spent sailing via the East and North coasts of Sicily, a circuit of Sardinia, the Balearics, Spain and Gibraltar, to a lay up at Lagos, in the Portuguese Algarve. The 2010 season was spent sailing the Portuguese and Spanish Atlantic coasts, to a winter layup at Getxo marina, Bilbao, and the early part of the 2011 season was spent in cruising the French Biscay coast and ports in Cornwall, South Wales, Eire and Northern Ireland, on a return passage to the Firth of Clyde. The individual places visited during these sailing seasons are too numerous to mention here. ZAMORA then resumed her cruising of the Northwest of the UK, and since returning to home waters the following previously unvisited places have been added to the the above list:
Glenarm Marina
Portavadie Marina
Port Bannatyne Marina
Mallaig Marina
Port Appin
The new Short Stay pontoons adjacent to and just North of Oban
North Pier.
Over the 35 years and 6 months that I owned ZAMORA, I have
logged 74,350.4 nautical miles in her; an average of 2094 nautical
miles per year. The greatest distance in a single season was 3567
nautical miles, in 1989. The greatest number of weeks sailing
in a single season was 21, while I was running RYA sailing courses.
In addition to my sailing activity in ZAMORA, my holiday sailing has extended
in recent years to repeat visits to the Mediterranean, including a
number of Flotilla holidays with family and friends in the Ionian,
several bare boat charters with family and friends in the Balearics,
and crewing in a friend and ex customer's very fine Halberg Rassy
from the Balearics to Sardinia and Sicily, the South Ionian
and both East and West Aegean, the West and South coasts of
Turkey and the West and South coasts of Cyprus. I am hoping to continue
doing this, with the help of frirends, as well as taking out occasional
charters on the West of Scotland.
