Circumnavigation completed!

Full Circle: Sailing Around the UK with a dog

After 130 days at sea, 2,025 nautical miles sailed over 46 legs, our circumnavigation of the UK is complete. From the rugged cliffs of Cornwall to the remote beauty of the Scottish Highlands, from Irish harbours steeped in history to the charm of Welsh coastal towns, we’ve had the privilege of sailing through every Celtic nation.

It’s hard to capture what this adventure has meant. There were calm, golden dawns that made us feel like the only boat on the water, and there were days when the seas tested every ounce of our seamanship. There were harbours that welcomed us like old friends, and stretches of wild coastline where the only company was seabirds wheeling overhead.

Svea, our intrepid Bernese Mountain Dog, has been at the heart of it all, proving that a big dog really can live a big sailing life. Pete kept the boat safe and steady, while Jen did her best to capture the magic along the way.

We set out to sail around Britain, but what we really found was a deeper connection to its waters, its people, and to each other. This has been more than a journey, it’s been a reminder that big dreams, no matter how daunting, are worth chasing.

The circumnavigation may be complete, but the adventure isn’t over. We’ll be sharing more stories, tips, and reflections soon. For now, thank you for following, supporting, and sailing with us in spirit.

Here’s to the next horizon.
