We Quit Sailing for 3 years... Now We're Back
After 3 years away, we're back — and this is the full story.
In 2017 we left our normal lives behind to go sailing. What followed was 8 years of adventure, heartbreak, bad timing, and eventually finding our way back to the water. From the Scottish Highlands to a 100-year-old wooden boat, through Covid, boat repairs, living in a
4x4 truck, and now — a Contest 40s in southern Spain, ready for a brand new season.
If you're new here, welcome. If you've been here from the start — thank you, genuinely. This one's for you.
⛵ WHAT'S COMING THIS SEASON
We're heading north from Spain — Biscay coast, the Netherlands Standing Mast Route, possibly Norway, then back to the UK and up to Scotland. We'll be sharing all of it, every week, right here.
