After 20 years of chasing wind, running from storms, crossing borders and stopping for repairs, we finally let go of life at sea. In this honest conversation, we discuss what it means to start over in the UK and how life on the canals in our widebeam boat helped us reconnect with peace, purpose, and ourselves.

Whether you're dreaming of a simpler life, curious about canal living, or need a calm moment, this episode is for you.
