  • Summary

  • We never stop learning - especially on boats! As a circumnavigator and maritime trainer I chat to a variety of sailors - boaties - yachties... people who love anything boating.... choose whichever noun you prefer. We find out what makes people on water tick and how they do it - from personal skills, juggling other aspects of life, to making it work financially. The achievements are big, whether they are making their cruising life a success or simply navigating their way through the troughs and peaks of everyday life.
