Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWhat a small world!! 'All in the same boat' caught my eye. Fiona and Paul's daughter, Penny McCall Howard, is a good friend of mine. We did our PhDs together in Aberdeen. Long before I was married, had kids of my own, or even dreamed of one day setting sail with kids, Penny was regaling me with stories of her childhood as a liveaboard kid sailing to far flung exotic locations. Her boating abilities (which she put to good use during her PhD research) are inspriring!
Wow, small world isn't it! It was certainly a book which insired us :)
