Day 365: September 30, 2025 – At Sea

A year ago today, we finally said good-bye to Belfast and sailed off into the sunset.

The day before our departure, I organized a Bye Bye Belfast Booze Bike to celebrate the milestone and bid good-bye to the locals who had come to know us as The Ship People.

A year later, we have been to 35 countries and 9 territories/provinces, for a total of 44 locations. (Locations shown in blue below are not independent countries; they are territories or provinces affiliated with another country.) Of these, 33 were new to me (75%).
