Our kids had left home and it was time for the two of us to head out into the world. We flew to the UK and bought a 70ft narrowboat. For a year we cruised the english waterways, with their beautiful canals and rivers. We checked out the tow path pubs. It was a wonderful experience. Our next big step was swap steel for fibreglass. We found the perfect yacht, a 43 foot Hans Christian Ketch, which had been neglected and floating at anchor for over 3 years. SV Nutshell was in need of plenty of TLC. Our plan is to sail her back to Australia, the long, long way, exploring the many places we come across. We'd love you to join us on our travels as we check out the islands, towns and villages along the way, and search for local ales to sample.
