About Us

Andy & Ann met in 2007 through a mutual interest in sailing.  Exeter St David's station maybe wasn't the most romantic place for our first meeting, but during lunch at Topsham Quay, we both independently decided that perhaps we could go sailing together...

We chartered a number of times during the summer from Liberty Yachts in Plymouth, followed by two weeks in the Ionian, where we chartered a Bavaria 39 from Sail Ionian.  It was there that Andy first said "do you think we could do this all the time?"...

We continued spending weekends together and getting to know each other better.  When not sailing, we enjoyed walking and exploring both the Cornish coast and the Cotswolds, our respective stamping grounds.

In September 2008, "The Plan" really started to take shape, and a target date of Spring 2010 was set to move aboard.

Andy has spent over 20 years as a Freelance IT Consultant, working in shipping, air traffic management, finance, offshore oil production, fossil and hydro power generation & desalination and TETRA communications industries.  He'll miss certain aspects of this, but he'll get over it quite quickly...

Ann, via Canada, California, Australia and now Cornwall (New York, Paris, PeckhamPenryn?) , has spent many years working in financial administration, including retail banking, payroll management and for the last 15 years as an administration manager at the head office of  a national franchise network.  She can also run up a mean pair of curtains...
