This is a second piece of history



The photo is of my beautiful wife Nichola (honest) geared up to dive on the Lusitania in 1999, her moment in history as well.



Thankfully she came back from her 93 metre dive, and ended up marrying me, obviously the pressure effected her judgement somewhat!



With the end of my time on the corporate treadmill drawing ever closer [15 days ;-)] I've been thinking about life more and what to do with it. I know I've been lucky to meet and fall in love with this brave lady, I also know that the path we have chosen is the right one, despite the difficulties of full time work, living on a boat and refitting it all at once.



I know we'll thrive once we turn to starboard out of the marina entrance in April/May next year.



I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
