Yes sadly we have had to sell Oceans Dream, our home for the last five and a half years. She has taken us across the equator three times and we have sailed her over 35,000 miles. We will miss her hugely as she has guided us and kept us safe on a journey that will live in our memories forever. Whilst the many pictures and words have recorded our adventures, it is the friends that we have made along the way in some of the remotest parts of the world that now live in our hearts and will provide our lasting and happiest memories.

So why have we given up this magical way of life? It is because ill-health has cruelly forced us to return home to be closer to medical expertise and treatment. The support from family and friends both at home and abroad has been of great benefit during these challenging times and we thank each and every one of you for your kind words of encouragement.

For those of you have followed our adventure on our website and this blog we hope that we have shared with you in a small way some of the excitement and thrills of our travels. We thank you particularly for your comments and emails.

We would encourage all of our readers to remember the words at the head of our website:

All our Dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. Walt Disney

That’s it from the Crew of OD, thanks so much for reading. “Going Clear”.
