Good read, I enjoyed that, thanks.

I was struck by the cabin photo. Where's all the clutter? She must be an amazingly organised person.

I wonder where that was, is it still there. Kicked out by neighbours and developers I suppose, the same as opposite Itchenor.

I cannot see the link form my IPad... shame!

On the skim read I've had she was not really alone or at sea for a year, just lived on a boat. None event really.

 

[Wansworth]

Think the actual yard is there but it’s been years since they built anyboats

Huge life changing event for her, and anyone else who dares untie the lines and jump into the unknown.. .......

Mark Twain quote seems appropriate....

Perhaps? I've known many people do that she has done and a lot more, and not slashed it all over a news paper.

How many of them were Features Editors at the Guardian?

Anyway, these articles seem to pop up quite often with all sorts of people.

We slipped from the cold grey UK waters 19 years ago. Boogaloo, I wish her well. :encouragement:

Planning to do the same in a few years. Slowly reducing my "digital foot print" and other stuff.

I wish you well in your adventures too and dont forget the sun tan cream!

 

[Wansworth]

Sun tan cream attacks coral.....apparently!

 

[capnsensible]

Its nasty stuff if you dont train it properly and keep it on a lead.

 

[Wansworth]

No wonder foreigners have problem!��

So, what's the problem with writing for a wider audience?

OK, you know lots of people who've done that, whereas I only know a few, so I like to read about their experiences. Articles about sailing are interesting for many folk in here. That's why they read the magazines that sponsor this forum.
