We had a whale of a time in the US and now will have to wait

That all sounds great.
Good to hear it worked out well meeting the faces behind the words.
I don't understand the "5 or 6 years" comment.
Can you explain?

Sure.
We go from here to Bermuda and then the Azores/Portugal.
(we'll probably go home for medical checks etc from Lagos)

From there around the Med and the Black Sea / Danube
for a couple of years and spit out at the end again and go
north to Uk/Ireland. If we don't mind the cold, we might
go to the Baltic but to me that's more of a quick train
trip with woolly jumpers and Ugg boots on.

Somehow we have to work out whether we want to go through France by
canal boat or just park somewhere and cycle around a bit. Unknown.
Same for Northern Spain, although there's good surf there so that'll
hook me for some time.

Then down to Cape Verde and back across to the Caribbean
Through the canal and into the big wide Pacific and
wander across to the far side of Australia.
Unless we don't go down and leave the boat up in Indo
or similar.
Might take 5? Not sure. As long as our health holds
up we'll keep wandering.

Open to change, as even the first year has been. We've not
done things that we were sure we'd do (go to Dollyville!) and done
other things we never thought we'd do (spend Christmas in Daytona)

Our year in the US was magnificent - what a country!!
