Darryl and Janet Lapaire will share the second part of their incredible, multi-year journey from Europe to Victoria – with two kids.

In this presentation, they’ll continue speaking about their amazing journey from Europe, with this presentation specifically discussing the Mediterranean and their Atlantic crossing and arrival in Barbados. They’ll share stories and photos from their travels and will leave time for questions from those who might be interested in more details or specifics.

As for the Lapaires, they are a family of four who sold it all to go cruising. They spent six years between July 2015 and November 2022 sailing from the Eastern Med to the Caribbean, through Panama and then on to the South Pacific.

They were caught out by COVID in French Polynesia and stayed there for 2 years before deciding to head north back to Canada via Alaska. They now call Victoria home and still live aboard their boat, spending winters in Victoria Harbour and summers at anchor.

They are actively planning their next adventure, looking forward to heading south to Mexico and onwards from there.
