Voyages of Lady Martina - 2015 season completed

This section summarises the Lady Martina 2015 cruising season.  

Whilst plans were always subject to the weather, the serviceability of the vessel and health and well-being of the crew, this outcome bears a close resemblance to our original cruising intentions and acted as a guide for friends and family who we would have liked to have visited us as valued guests.

As our plans for individual cruises were more advanced, thenhad their own entry with all of the necessary details added as usual. The links take the reader to the details of each passage as they happened.
