Laval spent
two years fitting
Lydia B out on
Vancouver Island,
British Columbia, Canada.
After an 800-mile
sea-trial trip
round the island
Lydia B went
north from the
Gulf Islands of
British Columbia
and up the
Inside Passage to
the Alaska border, then out round
the Queen Charlotte Islands and back to Victoria BC.
Lydia B left
Canada in
September 2001,
sailing down
the US Pacific
coast to Mexico,
El Salvador,
Nicaragua,
Costa Rica and
Panama.
After transiting
the canal and
a visit to the
San Blas Islands
of Atlantic Panama
Lydia B crossed
the Caribbean to
Key West, Florida,
stopping at the Colombian-owned island of San Andres, then Cayo Vivarillo
and Isla Mujeres, Mexico; then up the
US east coast to
the Chesapeake
ahead of the 2002
hurricane season
where she wintered
before crossing
the Atlantic
to Maryport, in
northwest England
in July 2003.
Total passage from
Vancouver Island
was 15,000 nm.
