Crew: Mike & Cathie Hall
About: In 2009 we both turned 50 years of age and embarked on our dream of sailing the Mediterranean. We worked our way from Skiathos, Greece and after a few adventures settled in Marmaris, Turkey before moving to a new marina in Cyprus.
Extra: Our original plans to sail to Spain have changed for numerous reasons and despite having had some wonderful adventures and met some great people we're now going to have to sell our boat and with a bit of luck continue our journeys by road, but thats a good few months away yet

End of Another Season

28 October 2010 | Yacht Marine
Like a British Summer Changeable
Unfortunately our immediate sailing was cut short when we had to fly back to the UK for the funeral of a close friends daughter. Rachie was only young (24 years old), suffered from diabetes and will be sadly missed, but always fondly remembered. A poem that she wrote for us has pride of place on Bruadar:

When you are sailing the open sea,
These rules will make your travels care free.

Packing is easy; you can not go wrong,
With bikinis, flip flops and a sarong.

Whichever cuisine you desire,
Never cook on board with an open fire.

And if you want a glass of wine....
Put the yacht on "auto" and you'll be fine!

Forget the hassles of travelling in cars,
when you're relaxing under the stars.

In a strong wind put up the sails,
But keep a look out for dolphins and whales.

If you start to feel a bit sick,
Put you head overboard - and make it quick!

When you go ashore and leave the yacht,
Make sure you tie the anchor's knot!

In your yacht there is a world to see,
One more thing... is there room for me?

We're now back in the Marina after fouling the prop on a lazy line and are getting ready for a lift out and flight back to the UK next month although we've also booked a return flight back to Turkey for early January.
