Where the sailing adventure started!
Three years ago, when Ryan and I had just met and he came up with that crazy idea that we should quit our jobs and go sail the world, we had no idea what we were doing. We were more or less openly laughed at, and our ambitions raised a few eyebrows.
"But... you guys don't sail!" or "You've just met... and you want to live on a boat?!" where questions we would get often. Nevermind the comments, we had a plan, and that plan started by 1: learning how to sail.
When asking ourselves: “how to learn how to sail”, we thought: “take a sailing course is a good start!”. With that in mind, we contacted a bunch of sailing schools around Europe. Only one responded, and it sounded good enough that in January 2016, we flew to Gibraltar for a two weeks sailing course.
This week, we go back to where our sailing adventure started, to the very place where we learned how to sail: the Ocean village marina in Gibraltar. This time, we sail our own boat!
