The plan to buy a boat, leave work behind and set sail had been in the pipe line for years. This was Stuart's big dream and he vowed that one day he would see it though.

So when the opportunity arose for us to buy Marie a 33ft Capitol Newport, Stuart leapt at the chance. The dream finally became a reality and the adventure began in Guatemala, March 2005. Stuart had previously sailed her from Florida to Guatemala for a friend so was completely familiar with the boat.

When we were thinking of leaving I searched the internet for women in my position, eg: not great sea lovers who got sick even at the thought of setting foot on a boat and I found very little. So I hope the site will be of interest to any of you reluctant sailing wives out there, cruising couples, day sailors, travelers, basically anyone wanting to follow a dream. You don't have to be millionaire just make the decision and the rest falls into place.

Three and a half years later after sailing from Guatemala to Colombia and on up to Canada, our journey has finally come to an end. We have had an amazing journey and although we are back for now Marie is resting in Riviere au Renard and will need to be moved by July 09 so watch this space!
