SAILING IN LIMBO

About me

Location	Southampton, United Kingdom
Introduction	We’ve given up our jobs to sail away for a year or so. I’ve wanted to do this on my own boat since a gap year crewing across the Atlantic in 1998/99. I’ve built up more than 20,000 miles of experience on various craft, including a trip to Greenland and back, sailing round Ireland on a tall ship, and a memorable summer in the South Pacific. I hold an RYA Yachtmaster certificate – although there’s still plenty to learn. Natalie, my fiancée, is Limbo’s First Mate and Chief Dolphin Spotter. This is her first long trip after a couple of summers’ cruising on the UK South Coast and in Brittany. She seems completely unfazed by large waves, and is gradually learning to differentiate between sea mammals and driftwood.
