We (Jo & Trevor Bush) bailed out of work in 2003 and bought a boat.

The boat is a Beneteau 473 with some 'make it even cumfier' bits & bobs added.

We messed around in the Med for 3 years sailing from one end to the other just to get the hang of it while sorting the boat ready for extended live-aboard cruising. We then promptly wrecked all the electronics and the new mods in a storm off Majorca and fixed it all again in the Canaries. There is loads of stuff in between to tell but we figure that the real story starts here, besides we cant be arsed to write it.
