There was Nick standing across the room ready to inject his crabs with some maturation hormone and I just couldnt resist his knitted jumper filled with holes and his stained trousers haha! Well that was sort of how it went.... we have been friends for years after we met while Nick was studying where I was working. We always talked about sailing across the Pacific and then in 2016 we decided to do it for real. So over paint pots of antifoul and rusty anchor chains we started to realise that now in matching stained and torn clothes this might be a pretty good idea. Thankfully thousands of miles across the ocean later it was the right decision!
