THE ADVENTURES OF"SKIE"
Exploring the World in a passagemaking motor yacht.
|
|
SKIE is a dream come true for Peter and Margaret Sheppard to experience exploring our wonderful world, and see revealed the wonders of life from a very different perspective - the water.
If you wish to follow our journeys, we will try and show you some of the sights and experiences that are happening at the time.
It is often said that cruising plans should be written in the sand at low tide, however our plan is to let SKIE take us anywhere around the world, and this will be done over an indeterminate time frame.
No, unlike many Nordhavn adventurers, we have not sold our business, our houses, or cars. We are into ringing from lifes opportunities everything that is possible. This ain't no dress rehearsal as been quoted often before, and we aren't copping out of anything.
Whether we make it or not depends on many issues, health being probably the most important. Much quality information is available for the cruising yachtsman these days due to the miracle of the internet and many websites such as ours chronicling other peoples adventures to provide a guiding light.
We would particularly like to encourage people to take the plunge in spite of their diverse backgrounds and previous knowledge and experience. Just get out there and do it, as the rewards will be very fulfilling.
Hope you enjoy our various adventures as they unfold.
