The start

In 2008 we bought our yacht "Miss Lilly" a Beneteau 373 and have been building sailing experience every since with trips to the Channel Isles and down the West Coast of France.

We always dreamed of sailing away to the Med and enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle, finally in 2011 we decided to give it a go. We had been gradually preparing the boat during 2011, but still had plenty to do. So in January we handed in our notice, Bev from the NHS and myself from Iconsys and the preparation was in full swing. We thought we had plenty of time to get the final preparations complete, but with one thing and another we were not ready come our first days of retirement.
