Cruising........that is the art of travelling and seeing places by way of boat, has been a dream of ours for some years. We both sail, we have read books, heard stories and talked to people who had been out there and done it. For us however it was basically just a what if.......a one day wouldn't it be cool if we did........

Well in the last year we sold our apartment and had a baby....... and then one night after a glass, or maybe two of bad to average red wine, I started thinking. What if we just gave it a go.......

Our yachtclub RPAYC has a rendezvous cruise planned this year up the east coast. We thought what better opportunity would we have and so off we will go.

Our boat Iolanthe was in need of some love before we left, with most jobs now complete dare I say it I think we are as ready as we will ever be to leave.
