We discussed sailing channels in general and talked about our own take on the situation in particular. We covered our sailing plans for 2020 and beyond (yes, Japan, Alaska and Canada!)
We talked about relationships on a sailboat and also gave the latest update on Millie. Massive shout out to those superstars who chucked us some dosh towards the Millie fund, it’s an expensive business getting our little furry family member better, but she’s worth it.
Thanks to everyone who joined us on the LiveChat and sorry we could not answer all your interesting points and comments.
