For you

Living and working afloat isn’t stressless or plain sailing, but it is full of wonder, surprise, and physical achievements. All of these are uplifting. Combined with slow travel with a top speed of 4 mph, it is a calm way to live. We are very fortunate in many ways. So this year, your Christmas card is going to CALM – the Campaign against Living Miserably to support their vital work, preventing suicide by enabling more people to have hope and calm in their lives.

We know Christmas is not an easy time for everyone, but we are incredibly grateful this year for all we have.

Next week, we shall look back and also look ahead as we predict the future – crystal ball at the ready! In the meantime, whatever your Christmas looks like, we wish you peace, love, warmth, manageable water levels, good food, a tipple or two, a safe mooring and gentle winds.
