Both were Scout Leaders and brought their family up to love the outdoors and to be self-sufficient. Peter was a Mountain Leader in Snowdonia until the rules changed and his body stopped working well enough to go up and down. Mary decided he needed a new hobby, on the flat, and so they went cruising on flotillas in Greece. After 3-4 years they bought Dofesaba – a Southerly 110 and two years later upgraded to the S42 RST – in their opinion, the pride of the fleet. In the meantime Peter did Day Skipper, Trans Channel course and Yacht Master Theory exams. Since then, up to 2021 they have ‘Cruised’ over 11000 miles, with many Adventures. Like many mature couples that are mostly retired they have used their summers ‘wisely’. However, few have the ability to take their boat down the Canals du Midi – so they had to try, and did. They then decided to turn right and go the wrong way around Iberia “just for fun”. Well some of it was and some of it certainly wasn’t. This their third book is the story of their 2021 adventures, which tested their mettle as a crew and as cruising sailors.
Peter and Mary live in Lymington and use the RLymYC often. Peter has been known to give lectures on his yearly adventures.vizualizați mai puține
