Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club

SNSYC and Saanich Peninsula Canadian Power Squadron
Presentation by John Hudson

The Making of an Atlantic Voyage - 2007
Skipper Dr. John Eby wanted to get his Beneteau 393 from Sidney to Europe for

extended cruising off the Iberian Peninsula and in the Mediterranean. Three

friends of the skipper including myself made up the crew. After three years of

preparation, the journey started on 24 February 2007 when the vessel left for Anacortes

to be trucked to Norfolk, Virginia. We departed for Horta, Azores, on 1 May,

arriving 23 May, and then we went on to A Coruña, Spain, arriving six days late on

3 June after some unseasonable weather. The talk will deal initially with the crew

and vessel preparation and then with the voyage itself.

John is a SNSYC member and is Commander of CPS – Saanich Peninsula Squadron

and a member of Bluewater Cruising Association.
