Nearing The End of The Second Half of Our Season
The end of our seven days a week working feels reachable. In less than three weeks we'll have completed our second Calendar Club season as self-employed operators, and be once again relishing time on board Areandare. The poor boat has been rather neglected since we began on 11th October! Unsurprisingly I haven't found much opportunity … Continue reading Nearing The End of The Second Half of Our Season

Barry has another two and half years to go; … Continue reading Continuing to discover ways to sustain our flexible floating lifestyle
