2011 has ended and we are now into the New Year and we are still in Trinidad. We had fully intended to head north early at the end of the year but Pat’s late return and the amount of work Mike had to do means that we are again delayed. Whether we will make it up to the States this year is now under consideration. We will decide in the next few weeks.

We have not updated our Google Map this time

The latest news is on our December log page and the maintenance log is on Mike’s page here.

We hope everyone had a very happy Christmas and we wish you all good health in the New Year.

See you next month.

Welcome to the voyage of El Lobo.

We are Mike Perrin and Pat Whittaker from Sunderland, UK, We hope  to spend the next few years travelling the globe. Mike has done a lot of sailing and Pat hopes she will be more experienced on their return!

We have refurbished this grand old lady, El Lobo, and began our journey on 1st April 2007. She is a 39 ft Samson C-Bird Ferro cement junk-rigged schooner which was built in 1971. She has already been to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean and Baltic with her previous owner. We hope to have as many grand adventures.
