Does Cruising Make You “Tame”?
Early starts, early bedtimes, physical labour and constant vigilance are a common part of the life of cruisers. This is a lifestyle which lures in the adventurous, the wild and heart and the daredevils – but it can turn those vibrant souls into, well, pretty tame individuals! At least that’s the experience ofsailing couple Mark and Jennifer. This adventuresome pair once paraglided, white water rafted and canyoned across the world – today they’ve been feeling a little stuck in the mud! We don’t buy it for a minute, read their latest blog on the subject and see if you agree!
