In 2011 I sold my house, car and almost everything else I owned, gave up my job and bought a sailing boat.
For years the ocean had been my delight and I had met someone who had always longed to sail and own a boat. A decision made to delight this new man in my life, opened a door to a new life in a completely unexpected way!
Fast forward four years and while the relationship didn't last, a love of living on board a yacht did!
Argos was found by chance but I knew the very first time I set eyes on her that she was the yacht for me. I have heard it said that people don't choose boats, they choose you and I think it is right. I just knew when I saw her that she was the one.
This short-lived relationship provided the backdrop for learning to live on board a yacht, and instilled in me a love of the cruising lifestyle, but now it is just me and my kids, learning to manage our amazing Argos, and finally learning to sail her properly.
Cruising has already been a steep learning curve but the kids and I are committed to taking as good care of our yacht as she has always taken care of us.
