Once back home, it was into the big blue sheds at Berthon for UHURU with new paint and a thorough refit to fit her for the next chapter.  Shiny and sorted, Team UHURU decided to try another cruising experience – the Mediterranean cruise…..

Team UHURU who jumped in with both feet and spend 2 very happy seasons, setting off from Lymington and then sailing into the Mediterranean and exploring Malta, the Balearics and all points between. Again the astonishing imagery was omnipresent.

The Oyster 62 is a superb mile muncher, and UHURU has proved herself to be quite simply remarkable in both warm and chilly climes.   If you are contemplating an adventure (or multiple ones) UHURU knows the way – your chariot awaits…..
