Weekly Update February #2

Still no sailings in 2026… yet at last a fair window opens. Tuesday the 17th stands as the week’s strongest day by far. Wednesday the 18th and Thursday the 19th we must cancel… the seas turn rough again… then, fair weather follow again, afterwards

Weekly Update February #1

Two full moons have passed… and we haven’t launched a single tour this year! Yet at last, the forecast whispers of fairer seas: a high-pressure system shall protect our coasts from the unforgiving storms of the North Atlantic. It shall settle in from the 19th onward— with some good fortune, Sunday the 15th and Monday the 16th may be just about doable…

Weekly Update January #2

No tours in 2026 so far and it will keep that way for the following 12 days….

A train of low pressures will batter our coast, rendering all tours impossible. The next viable day seems to be Thursday 29th.
