And So It Begins…

So here we are at the start of a new and exciting chapter in our lives. After years of spinning round and round the corporate hamster wheel, we are embarking on a more sedate way of life living aboard our 37ft sailing yacht Aroha. Our plans involve us sailing East from the UAE, which has been our home for a couple of decades, into Asian waters.

Everything we own is either onboard or packed into a few boxes for long term shortage in the UK. The process of downsizing is oddly liberating.  It is tough to start with but after a while, you begin the appreciate that most of what we own is just “stuff”, and the really important things are the people, not the things we have in our lives.

With just a few weeks left before we set off, life is still pretty hectic at present.  Finishing up corporate consultancy projects along with managing the numerous boat jobs along with moving out of the apartment, and all that entails has been keeping us busy.

Getting this blog set up has been part of recent activities.  We hope these pages will be a way to share our adventures with people we know and care about and be an inspiration to those we have never met.
