Welcome to Zero2Sixty

This map represents our entire voyage around the world starting in December of 2014 and ending up back in the Mediterranean at the end of May 2019. The statistics show we traveled almost 35,000 nm and you can see by the path on the map that we zigged around quite a bit particularly in the Pacific (what an amazing place!).

We took a little get-away down to Ticino (southern Switzerland) to visit with our friends and enjoy the Italian-influenced cooking the local restaurants offered. It had been almost nine months since were there last and we looked forward to staying at one of the fine hotels in Ascona, the Hotel Giardino Ascona.

A lot of people have followed our journey with Feelin’ Good over the years and, while many have lived vicariously with us in all the strange and wonderful locations we’ve visited, there was one man in particular who did so with such enthusiasm that, when we arrived back in the Mediterranean, asked me to let him know if we ever decided to sell Feelin’ Good.

After months of waiting, Feelin' Good was finally loaded on a transport ship yesterday and we are standing by for departure to see them leave Phuket bound for the voyage home to Palma de Mallorca in the Mediterranean. Andrea is onboard to look after Feelin' Good for the 3-4 week journey and will have our YellowBrick activated so we can all follow the passage as if we were sailing it...

We wanted a nice, alpine retreat for 3-4 days to enjoy winter in the Swiss Alps. A place that has a wonderful lodge, warm, comfy rooms, great food and wine. The nice thing about Switzerland is that description fits hundred of places and you can pretty much choose one sight-unseen and be sure of a wonderful experience. We did have a recommendation from a friend for this resort and so...

This map shows all the passages taken during 2018. We were in a marina in Auckland working out maintenance issues until about August when we left for a very long passage to Indonesia. After cruising the entire archipelago from east to west, we ended up in Langkawi, Malaysia to rest for a number of months before we take off on February for Thailand. What an excellent season full of...

After a good long rest in Langkawi, the crew is positioning Feelin' Good in Phuket, Thailand. Our plans have been adjusted a bit as we've looked hard at sailing through the Suez Canal back to the Mediterranean but the presence of pirate activity coupled with the refusal of any insurance company to cover us while in the 'High Risk Area' convinced us the better decision is to transport...

OK, so let's start out by saying we've been going to the Ambassador (and its sister hotel across the the street, L'Opera) for about 10 years now. Both hotels have always been clean, nice, reasonably priced (for Zürich!) and in a great location close to the Bellevue tram station. They are also about a 5 minute walk to the lake and the bridge crossing over the Zürich river.
