Olivia and Pat Murphy set off in 1999 in their 41ft Sloop called Aldebaran. I worked with Olivia in the Irish Red Cross. They set off in 1999 and crossed the Atlantic. They spent quite some time cruising the Caribbean, visiting the Islands and kept sending back reports of their adventures. After about a year they passed through the Panama canal, visiting the Galapagos and many other islands on the way to New Zealand. During the years They both returned to Ireland for Weddings, Births and to catch up with friends. They also spent quite a long time in Australia in a camper van. Their trip continued along Indonesia, Singapore, Malasia and Thailand. In 2007 they made the perilous passage from Thailand to Turkey via “Pirate Alley” in the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. They finally arrived back in Ireland late this Summer.
They have their own website www.patandolivia.com
