A Rest Day, Which Means Work!

After a week of travelling every day, we stop to refresh and replenish.
At St Jean de Losne there are a few boat jobs to do. Nothing major, a couple of small leaks in the central heating and a bit of shopping.

While travelling I work. I'm writing my third memoir. The first book we published was Cruisers' AA (Accumulated Acumen) . It contains 1,800 tips, tricks, ideas and advice on living on board.

Of Foreign Build - From Corporate Girl to Sea-Gypsy Woman is about my nine-year odyssey sailing around the world on a small sailboat.

A Standard Journey - 5 horses, 2 people, and 1 tent is the story of Noel, me, and five adopted Standardbred horses. The seven of us trekked along part of the Bicentennial National Trail for three months. I donate 50% of profits to horse charities.

The next book is the story of flying to America from Australia, purchasing a larger sailboat and sailing home via Easter Island and Pitcairn etc. That book does not have a title yet - I am working hard to complete it by Christmas.

You can win copies of Of Foreign Build HERE.

Some of my books are Indie published, some via a publisher. Either way I spend a lot of time marketing, writing blogs and trying to keep up with social media.
So, stopping in port for us is not much of a rest.


We spent three days at St Jean de Losne. Woven throughout out stay were repairs, writing, housework and hospitality - we met some great cruising couples here.

Soon, we will commence the journey north - I have some fabulous (larger) pictures to share with you - I hope you'll join us on our voyage.
