Having gained such a respectable title as ‘Creative Lovey’ on our epic
During a holiday in Greece we saw a small yacht kitted out for round the world sailing
with the name ‘Second Career’ emblazoned down her side.
For me, I view this circumnavigation, as my third career. I have been fortunate
enough in my previous careers to hone my skills and gather the resources to enable
us to do this journey.
The other essential ingredient is to have a great ‘Mate’. This is an understatement
when describing Jackie, my First Mate.
I started sailing as a young boy on the River Avon and on family holidays at Aberdovey.
Maybe it was those early days in that little Heron dinghy and my avid reading of
the Swallows and Amazons adventures that inspired me to do this journey.
voyage, just one of my responsibilities includes keeping our readers of this web
happy and as such, any feedback about content/design is always welcome. Visit the
Contact page and post your Comment - it’ll come straight to my ‘Inbox’! We’ll also
be keeping a regular blog should you wish to keep a closer eye on our adventures.
Anyway, I really am not the most patient of individuals and am now ready to crack
on with our adventure ... I cannot wait to get on and build those nautical miles!!
It’s only since I’ve known Adrian that I’ve actually come ‘on board’ with the love
of sailing - most of the miles I’ve clocked up in the past have been IN the water
rather than ON it!
