Up bright and early this morning to pack! Mike is heading home, John too, and Im going to Southampton, firstly to join the boat show then to join another boat, and a brand new crew member in readiness to sail a boat by ourselves for a week!
We all said our goodbyes, and it feels strange to be leaving 2 new friends with whom I have spent virtually every waking hour for 84 days!
Onwards and upwards!
Off to the boat show today – will upload photos shortly, but picture millions and millions of pounds on the water with lots of shiny boats and it will bring you somewhere close!
This blog will now change a little as the time has come for some concerted and intense study. I will try to get online and occasionally keep you up to date with my travels from now on as I head towards my yacht master exam in 2 weeks time……….gulp! See you very soon!!!
About Jill Beckett
I hope you enjoy reading this blog, it is written purely for entertainment value as a way of keeping a journal for myself and helping to stay in touch with family and friends around the world.
I started writing this blog in 2011 when I gave up my job in the UK as a midwife ("The Baby Catcher"!) and began circumnavigating Britain on a 45ft yacht.
I try to "Live Life to the Full", "Think out of the Box" “Live a life less Ordinary” and any other cliches for making the best of it that you can think of! We really do only have one life, and Im trying to make the very best of it, I hope this blog inspires you to do likewise.
Work sometimes gets in the way, and I often return to “baby catching” but I try to have as many adventures as I can. I have written about some of these here, from my time circumnavigating the coast of Britain, living in Bali and training as a Dive Master and Scuba Dive Instructor, sailing from Malaysia to the E Coast of Australia and living in Australia and New Zealand.
Drop me a message, I would love to hear from you and see what you think of my blog!
