Seagull is flying high in this one. We make a scheduled stop at Mayflower Marina for a quick lift and hold. We used the jet wash free of charge to give her bottom a good scrub, greased the propeller and cleaned the anodes. All was fine so she went straight back in the water. Excellent summer package deal, thanks Mayflower Marina. Our Coppercoat application continues to impress us with it's performance. The only fouling we had was on our keel cooled fridge and bolts on the anode, which have no protection. We would never go back to ablative antifoul.

What an epic display of raw power.

We met this cheeky chappy yesterday whilst visiting the Abbey Gardens on Tresco. We have never seen such bold red squirrels before. In fact lots of the birds come extremely close too. Probably due to the lack of natural predators. It was a real treat. #redsquirrel #liveaboardlife #retirementadventures

A small snippet of our adventures to come. we are currently enjoying the warmth of the sun and the amazing floral display here this spring.

When on passage for many hours, hot food is essential. We all have our favorites, but seriously, beans, cheese, and tuna on a jacket potato? That's a culinary adventure gone rogue! What are your favorite passage lunches? Spill the beans (not literally) and let us know what you think. 😂

Our cute little reindeer runs wild on the beach. Vinted is such a great place to find. Adora dog outfits. She brings us Christmas cheer, so we thought we would share it with you all. 🎄

We dress our boat for the festive season and get into the holiday spirit. The lights are so magical, and it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

All sailors enjoy a good square meal, and a dark corner to share a tale or too. This Sunday roast was truly an experience with a wonderful seafaring setting. The Smugglers Cott is in the town of Looe in Cornwall and the food was superb. #sailors #greatgrub #sailinglife

Spending so much time living on board a sailing boat brings you closer to nature and occasionally you can experience real joy when sharing your space with another living creature. This one is a daily visitor, and I enjoy watching the fishing antics everyday.

How do you entertain yourselves on board on a rainy day?

One thing we can't cook well on board is a proper Sunday roast, and the reality is we sometimes really fancy one. So when the mood strikes we head ashore in search of a Sunday lunch that looks like it will hit the spot. This one did not disappoint!
