This web site is about our experiences since 2003, living on board Fuga, and travelling from the UK and into the Mediterranaean. We hope that amongst its pages you will find amusement, inspiration, or simply something useful.

We hope to continue sailing for some time to come. We spent the winter 2009/10 afloat at Alanya in Turkey, mostly doing maintenance on the boat between frequent parties. We are now planning to head west again, with a view to leaving the Med in 2011.

It is always gratifying to hear from people who have found this web site, and found something interesting or useful to them. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any comments, suggestions, or questions.
If you have your own web site, link to us and we will happily reciprocate.

None of us know what is in store for us in the future. If you want to do something badly enough, you can make it happen, but you have to be prepared to plan and work for it. If you accept the constraints of cruising on a budget , then a life afloat is surprisingly accessible.

If you have never sailed, you must give it a try. You will either love it or hate it! It does not matter what you sail or where you sail, a dinghy on a lake, or cruising the oceans, the fundamental attractions and challenges are much the same. Many cruising people enjoy arriving and being at new places, but do not particularly enjoy the bit in between. In John's case, he inherited the sailing bug, but for Mo it was acquired with the territory!.
