KIRIWINA
"Kiriwina" is a Vancouver 28 ft cutter rigged yacht #54 built in 1997 by Northshore Yachts at Itchenor, England.
She was purchased in July 2005 when I became the third owner.
We are on a sailing cruise of indeterminate length with no particular destination.
In 2006 we sailed north as far as Denmark before proceeding south where we wintered 2006/2007 in La Coruña, Galicia, Spain. During 2007 we sailed further south along the Spanish, Portuguese and Moroccan coasts to the Canary Islands where we stayed until late December before sailing south to the Cape Verde islands.
We arrived in Fortaleza, Brazil, towards the end of January 2008 and cruised south to Buenos Aires, arriving in December 2008. Throughout 2009 Kiriwina was moored near Buenos Aires.
Kiriwina is now cruising the Uruguayan coast.
Thank you for visiting. More details of our travels are in the logs.
