With my lifelong love of travel, I have been fortunate to visit about forty countries and all continents except Africa. This trip was to complete my continental experiences but further, to truly enjoy a cruise under sail and visit intriguing locations such as Casablanca, Marrakech and the Canary Islands.

My trip began by flying to Spain and spending a few days there before boarding the luxury yacht, the "Sea Cloud". For a picture of the ship click here. After the fourteen day journey, I flew home from the Canary Islands via Spain. A most enjoyable trip, to be sure.
