NEW PASSAGE!
Join ICEBEAR in the historic port of Falmouth, UK where we’ll begin our journey south to Portugal. After a day or two getting to know the boat and exploring the pubs, we will push off into the English Channel, tracing the steps of many circumnavigating record-setting sailors. We’ll be coastal cruising until we see the window to push off across the famous Bay of Biscay. We will likely make landfall in the colorful fishing port of Cascais, Portugal. We prefer landing there to Lisbon for its quieter anchorage and lovely town, and it is a short commute from the bigger city.
