Do We Miss Sailing? | One Year Living on a Canal Boat | Casting Off Ep 064

It’s been exactly a year since we swapped our sailing boat for a widebeam canal boat, after nearly 20 years living afloat. How has it been — and do we have any regrets? Before reflecting on our first 12 months aboard Happidaze, we take a quick look at Liz’s new book. She’s been commissioned by Bloomsbury to write a guide to casting off and setting sail, which explains her recent radio silence. Meanwhile, Jamie has been busy editing the photographs. In this video version of the podcast, we share a few of those images as a gentle reminder of our time aboard SY Esper. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
