Full Tour of Our Sailing Home - Venus Ketch 1984
Welcome aboard our 1984 Venus Ketch! In this liveaboard sailboat tour, we invite you inside the 46' vessel that we call home.

From the spacious center cockpit to the cozy salon and cabins, see the layout and original features that make this classic yacht such a capable home for long-term cruising.

About Us:
We are Steve, Annette, and Gus. We sold our family home, gave up our jobs, and bought a 46' Venus Ketch to carry out our dream of 'SAILING AS FAR AS WE CAN FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN'. Steve worked for many years in the marine industry and Annette is a Virtual Personal Assistant and Bookkeeper. We're documenting our journey and life at sea!

We are Steve and Annette. We have been together since we were 15years old and believe me that was many years ago. We have 3 children and 8 grandchildren. We are now a young middle-age couple who want sail the world as far as we can for as long as we can.
Steve used to be a Marina Hoist Operator in charge of yacht lifting operations. He dealt with super yachts, the likes of the J Class yacht's and Oyster Super Yachts, a multitude of other large sailing vessels up to 200tonne as well as the smaller yachts like Cordelia.
Annette was an Operations Manager & Bookkeeper at a marketing company LCM https://www.lcm.co.uk and continues to work part-time.
We had been planning our cruising life for over 10years and finally at the age of 55 decided that the time was right for us to let the lines go and start living our dream. We love to see new places and enjoy the different cultures of each country. Our long-term plan is to just enjoy it whilst we can, see as many places as we can and share this dream with those of you who are interested in watching and joining us.
