I was playing around with two warriors. I decided that speccing one as a 2H user and having one of them use a 2H axe was too unbalancing and made it too easy so I decided to start over. I was after the point where you have visited the homestead. I quit to the main menu and hit new game.
When I reached the beach waypoint, I saw that I had all the waypoints from my previous game on the list - Start, Harbour, North Gate. The good news was that I couldn't use those. I reached the harbour and activated that waypoint. I then tried to return to the beach one - I couldn't. It was then that I noticed that I had the "Go to Homestead" button on my list. That worked and it took me there, where Zixzax asked about my progress. In this game I hadn't even entered Cyseal proper yet.
