What's going on with the boat?

After ten years living on Tarquilla we have moved to land. I'm often asked if we love the house or miss the boat and the real answer is - both. We still have Tarquilla and we are open to all options at the moment as far as her future is concerned. We will carry on working on her, it would be great to be able to sail her again. The Scilly Isles, Portishead marina, Bristol harbour and Falmouth are all places we have talked about as well as many others further afield. But, on the other hand, if a family was looking for a boat, ready to do the preparation she needs and wanted to take her on then we would sell her. She is not ready to sail off into the sunset but has a lot of life left in her. If you or someone you know would be interested then please contact us. She is 3 ply cold moulded, 42 foot long, one off design built in the 1960's. She has 2 double cabins and 2 single berths, a good size saloon, a decent size galley, head and a covered cockpit. She has two engines and a full suit of sails. We have lots more photos and can provide more details or answer questions. In the meantime, this blog has come to a natural pause for now as we take on new adventures.

Blogtober 11 - Atlantic rowing challenge

We totally admire those who have an idea then put in the effort to go for it no matter how rediculous that idea may seem to others.

Rowing across the Atlantic is a challenge which is not for the faint hearted. It takes about 2 months on average covering around 3000 miles. The Atlantic Warrior team are preparing in Plymouth for this adventure. They will be setting off in December as one of around 30 crews taking part in the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic challenge which has the tagline - The worlds toughest row. They will be raising money for Macmillan cancer support, the Royal Marines charity and Mental health association.

Good luck to them for an epic challenge.
