Hi folks, here’s an exciting update regarding the LifeAfloat YouTube channel. It contains the big news - I’m moving to the Isle of Skye. After a long hiatus, I’ll be on the sea once more in my beloved kayak!

The sunrise this morning across Ipswich waterfront marina was pretty special. The calm before the storm maybe.

I've been up on the roof again. The seedlings and saplings are loving the sunshine and they're all coming along nicely.

One of our absolute rules on the boat. I'd much rather deal with things at 3 in the afternoon than 3 in the morning . . . and you know when the storms ALWAYS hit!

Afternoon all,

Hope your Monday is off to a positive start. ✨

If you're seeking a bit of slow on your break in the form of a podcast/ long read, I posted a blog entry yesterday about autumn boat life 👀

Tidied up my roof garden. Gave the perennials, saplings and herbs fresh compost. I've also sown some annual flowers.

🌼 Beeballs! A mix of native wildflower seeds which the bees love 🐝💛

After a great week on Nb Hawksmoor we feel recharged and recuperated, ready to get back to work and training.

I very much enjoyed following it.
You are now on my list of adventurers having adventures that I like to read about. It's the same list as @lifeafloat ... (I wonder how he's getting on)

An over land trip yesterday for a change, by bus to collect the repaired chart plotter from Dartmouth, with a break from a trip up and down the hills along the south Devon coast at Kingsbridge. Back to the sailing in the next couple of days 🤞

What happens if you throw caution to the winds, move continents and exchange a safe corporate job for life as a freelance teacher living on a rusty old barge?

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? All ok here, been manic but ok.

Sun is shining at just the right angle to capture our bathroom tap, thought I would share with you all 😍💖.

So I'm stuck in Salcombe on the south coast. My chart plotter decided to die and now I'm waiting for Raymarine to replace it. Still, there are a lot worse places in the world to be stuck!

I've been distracted these last few weeks, sailing and enjoying the sunny, sometimes cold, British spring.
There's been a few blog posts, but the latest one is here: sailingsouth.org/the-english-...

Taking time to slow down has helped me focus on my new book:
Never Two Late: Three Years Afloat with Steve, Mexi and Me – Living, Loving & Learning on the Waterways 💙🚤

Out end of October – can’t wait to share it!
