Sailing across the Straits of Gibraltar to North Africa. On a course to get my International Yacht Skipper Licence. Sailing to three countries and two continents in a week. I passed the test so now I'm now an officially licenced Skipper!!! Who's up for a sailing holiday?

Our overseas move started in 2005, with a brief vacation in India. Then we joined the Tsunami relief team in Sri Lanka for a couple of years. We were then based in Nairobi, Kenya for 9yrs.
