Ever wondered what a week long sailing trip really looks like? How do the toilets work? What’s showering like? Well I’m here to explain what…
Day two and time to get back on the water, asap rocky. If you’ve been following my travels, you’ll know I’m partial to the odd sailing trip, fond of a yacht and lover of all things nauti.
