The hospital ship
The first lesson of parenting is really to expect the unexpected. Funnily enough, the same can be said of liveaboard sailing. Often our travels see us going from one extreme to the other in terms of available supplies as we’ve sailed both to big,…
Multi-tasking
As I mentioned a little while back I'm currently working on [...]
On bravery
I suppose it must be true that sometimes it takes seeing yourself and your life through another person’s eyes to admit and accept certain facts. I don’t consider myself to be a particularly [...]
Peek-a-boat
We all imagine that we are alone on our boats. Gently swaying at anchor, with the sun shining down, lulls us into a false sense of [...]
A bunch of updates
Just to let you know that I've just got through a backlog of updates to the site, mainly in the form of a whole host of articles that you may not yet have seen. We were featured in [...]
One year on…
Today our little girl, Autumn, has her first birthday. What follows is [...]
Return to the South Pacific
No, you didn't read that wrong but it doesn't quite mean that we're setting a course back eastwards either. A number of [...]
New money for old rope
I simply adore swap meets. The traditional car boot sale or antiques market in land-lubber life has always had a certain appeal but they are always plagued with the business of having to root through all the junk to uncover something useful. By…
Uncommon courtesy
We sailors love our special bits of rules and etiquette don’t we? From COLREGs to radio speak, the yachting world is littered with hints and tips of best practice that help the novice adjust to this whole new language of sailing. But whilst [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines
After the ghoulish curiosity for questions about storms and pirates abates, people are always interested in our engine. And it’s often with a tone of [...]
Wróżka magazine
Recently we were approached by a Polish magazine that wanted to document our travels and family adventure. It all appears here in [...]
The Daily Mail
Following on from our piece in "Femail", the Daily Mail online (click here if you haven't read it already) we were contacted by the main paper to do a further interview. Apparently they needed a good news story to counteract [...]
Trash soup
Sailing gives you the opportunity to have your eyes opened to different cultures, exotic new flavours and languages, enabling you to learn new ways of thinking and being. This constant education is the single most fulfilling thing about our cruising…
A little update
The birth of baby Autumn plus our extended time in the UK have allowed for a little extra time for a few updates to the site here and there. This includes our favourite page, the "Photography" one, where some [...]
Extra, extra, read all about it!
So, apparently we are interesting enough to count as newsworthy... or perhaps it's just a slow news week. Either way, we were approached via our connections with Sleepyhead to do an interview which featured [...]
Row, row, row your boat
To row or not to row? That is the question. Getting your dinghy from A to B, from boat to shore, is an everyday occurrence for any liveaboard. But, although seemingly [...]
