The
Crew of Pacific Cloud
What
possesses a normally rational family of four very busy
people going about their everyday lives to chuck it
all, sell everything and buy a big multihull to go cruising?
The story
is long and complicated and probably no different than
any other cruising family out there. The idea originated
with the Skipper when he was a young man and the day
after they started dating the Admiral knew about it.
"Get a boat and cruise around the world"!
Life gets'
in the way as in all things; education, jobs, careers,
kids etc and before we knew it we were approaching 50.
It suddenly dawned on me that I had to do something
about this dream or let it die.
How do you
get two teenage boys to leave their very complicated
lives, friends and strange world they live in that is
very important to them? it was easy, promise them sun,
sand and bikini clad girls as far as your eye can see.
Are we crazy;
or crazy like a fox. Only time will tell and the jury
is still definitely out for some of us.
