When we first decided to embark on this epic adventure we had literally no idea where to start.
Every time we thought we had a decision made, we would realise we hadn’t considered some other important factor that took us all the way back to square one.
We were clueless about the boat buying process, the paperwork, and the legal side and didn’t know where to start when it came to choosing the right boat.
After tackling that we needed to actually learn to sail!
And then there were all the other things we hadn’t thought of, like radio courses and fitting the boat out with the correct safety equipment and so much more.
It has taken us years (literally) of research and asking other cruisers to be confident in our setup. We wanted to produce a guide that would be full of all the advice we wished we’d had access to at the beginning of our journey.
So here it is – the ultimate guide to running away to sea!
