Hover your mouse over a red dot for a short note on the status on board.

Click here to see where Milvina is while we are sailing.
You will open a map. Often you have to click on the map to zoom in or out to see well
This map works fairly well on a slow Internet connection, but is ineffective if we have not been on board for ten days or more..

This site is primarily for family use, but includes some information on McCubbin Consultants.

Milvina sailing down sound of Mull, by Ron Leniston

This July update refers mostly to sailing in the San Blas Islands and in France and Scotland. If you want to follow 2010, best click here.

2009 treated the McCubbin family quite well, with no more than the usual minor problems of life, except for the sad loss of our brother-in-law, Larry Hill, near the end of the year.

The year started off with some work under way, which was rapidly interrupted by a sailing holiday in the San Blas Islands of Panama.

We all got together in Canmore, near Banff, in Alberta in February for some skiing and related activities.

In May Helen and Neil got back on board Milvina in Ardrossan, in Scotland, with plans to cruise Scotland and Norway for the summer.

Helen took several months off from working with Skyservice as senior flight nurse for her sailing and skiing activities.

Neil has been been doing some engineering work. Current objective is to work only on very interesting projects, and to keep that down to 25% or less.

Michael finished his final year in law school at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in May 2010, and is articling for the required year.

Derek prefers rugby to sailing, so worked in Waterloo and played club rugby all summer, then Varsity Rugby in the fall, as soon as classes started. He finished his Arts degree in May 10, and is now running a teenagers summer camp, and plans to go to New Zealand in February 2011 for a year's teacher training course

In addition to the page on each of the family linked above, there is some history of previous sailing activities.
