Sailing Magazine
by Richard Crockett
This may be a piece that women like as it’s all about Jill Knight who started out knowing almost nothing about sailing, and seven years sharing her story. And, she bought the boat she was cruising on and continued single-handed!
In this feature she shares the following:
• about creating a boat she enjoys as a home
• what she has discovered about cruising
• what makes the lifestyle a good one for her
• and the drawbacks.
This is an interesting read, as is the newspaper cutting shared with the magazine article. Jill ended the magazine article with these words: “The real joys for me have not stemmed from reliance on my own resources or conquering the elements; they have not arisen from the countries I have visited or the marvellous people I have met. They have been the very simple pleasures of creating my own life rather than living the recipes of others, and the peace of being where I want to be.”
Now that’s a cruising life I am sure many dream about?
