life on the water

Jeanne Socrates (at the time of writing) is back on her boat in Canada after an extended (land) stay in Australia (Covid). She is busy prepping her boat to sail to Australia. What drives Jeanne to keep sailing and traversing the long distances...?

Boats glorious boats - from the Sydney to Hobart race, to cruising, Ivan has vast experience and qualifications. Join us as we discuss racing and cruising. We share advice and tips for those dreaming of sailing off into the sunset and for those underway already.
We are both maritime trainers with kindred spirits - it's about constant learning from our experiences and from those we teach.

Tanya Rabe lives onboard full time with her partner Anthony. Dogs and sailing are their passions and Tanya has combined both to bring you Dogs Who Sail. Her FB page and website are full of useful information, but this is different from the usual 'loving our pets' - it's all about the dogs!

People seeking advice can receive tough love with regards to taking their dog on their boat - but if it is all about the dog, then that's how it should be. If you following Tanya's advice then you will have a much better change of enjoying your watery lifestyle with your favourite pet and better still - a happy - favourite pet!

But it's not all been petals and roses, Tanya's faced her own battles. 

After the somewhat stressful time of purchasing a Dutch Barge in France, it is the start of our moving journey. Join us on the highs and lows (and learnings) of puttering through France.

A fun episode, but there are some gems in here that will help every boater.
