Patti and James Hunt - 73 countries in 25 years of cruising

Patti and James Hunt - 73 countries in 25 years of cruising

James and Patti Hunt are Australians who truly have the traveller's spirit, having extensively backpacked as young Australians throughout Europe in the early 1980's. They were introduced to sailing in the chilly conditions off the south coast of England and purchased their first yacht 'Wanderlust' a Hurley 24 in 1987.

By 1995 they made the decision to find the ideal cruising yacht to become their travelling home and subsequently purchased 'La Aventura' (Spanish for 'The Adventurer') from Jimmy Cornell. Over the next 25 years they sailed two-handed to 73 countries and covered approximately 50,000 miles, including a circumnavigation of the UK, two seasons in the Baltic, sailing to Eastern Europe, St Petersburg, Russia, on to the Mediterranean in 2000, where they spent the next 11 summers, then Turkey, Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon and Israel. By 2012 they crossed the Atlantic to the Eastern Caribbean, before spending 6 years exploring the Eastern and Western Caribbean, Panama, Cuba and east coast USA. 'La Aventura' is now back in the UK and for sale, having just completed a voyage from the Western Caribbean, back across the Atlantic via Bermuda and the Azores.
