Like many of us, Pat and I (Stuart) had arrived at 'that age' all too quickly. By 2010 Life had been absolutely non-stop, raising two boys, house development projects and running our own businesses.

 

Suddenly we were at that point when we realised that time was running short and there was so much more to achieve. 

 

The children were educated and working, the dog had passed away so we had few ties and a short window of opportunity,

there really were no more excuses.

Having sailed 'a week here a weekend there' for twenty + years, using both our own yachts based in Dartmouth UK or chartering abroad for holidays. We both enjoyed the freedom and challenges that sailing gave us away from 'normal' life.

 

'It was time to get serious' - so this journal covers that change from 2010 to present days - which took us over 60,000 nautical miles around the world and keeps us sailing.
 

Discovering just how unique offshore ocean passages are and how enjoyable sharing sailing is with Rallies, Family and Friends.

" Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do"

So throw off the bowlines - Sail away from the safe harbour - Catch the trade winds in your sails - Explore - Dream - Discover.
