Time flies when you’re having fun… It’s already 5 years since I started writing the “Blue Note” column for Sailing Today Magazine in the UK and I’m so happy that they have been printing my stories all this time. And all the while accompanied by a fabulous illustration, firstly by Aimee Jewitt-Harris and then, more recently, by Michael Parkin.

The image alongside my first column, entitled “Home from home”, all about having cyclone season, and a baby, in New Zealand.

I’ve done a long overdue update to the Sailing Today page in articles so you can see a bunch of new columns to read over a nice hot cup of tea.

Enjoy!x
