I said I was taking the rest of the year off… but plans have changed.
Earlier this year, we went all in. We sold our boat, packed up the house, put everything into storage, and headed overseas for what was meant to be a proper European boating adventure.
The plan was to join another family in Spain aboard an 84ft boat, help get her ready for the season, and spend some real time on the water as a family.
When we arrived, it became clear the boat, while amazing, was still deep in refit mode. There was a lot more to be done than expected, and the timeline was longer than we could realistically wait around for with our young family.
We genuinely hope they get her launched and enjoy the season soon. It’s a beautiful boat, and we’d still do it all again. We’re boat people, and sometimes boating adventures require a bit of a pivot.
So, after some time away with the family, I’m heading back to Sydney and will be back inspecting boats from late July.
If you’re buying a boat, arranging an insurance survey, or want independent advice before making a decision, send me an email at [email protected] and I’ll get you booked in.
