Rye, East Sussex is one of England’s most picturesque towns. It’s full of medieval history and architecture, beautiful scenery, and endless charm. It’s perfect for a quiet getaway - just an hour on the train from St. Pancras Station in London. Mermaid Street and The Mermaid Inn are worth the visit alone. If you’re in England and have time to explore the countryside a bit, I wholeheartedly recommend going to Rye. Here are my recommendations for your trip!

The popularity of the hot springs drove Bath to become a popular spa town in the Georgian era, and Jane Austen called the city home in the early 19th century.

Meet the Cruisers: Richard of S/V Darwind
In the first installment of my Meet the Cruisers series, I introduce you to Richard, a nineteen-year-old solo sailor from Alaska with plans to sail Darwind, his 28’ Pearson Triton across the Pacific. My intention with this series is to introduce you to the cruising individuals, couples, and families that we have met while providing insight into this lifestyle, sharing the different types of stories, dreams, and reasons that drive people to cruise, and giving you an inside perspective on what it’s really like to be out here. If you’re interested in cruising one day or just intrigued by this lifestyle, I hope that this series shows you that there isn’t just one type of person who is cut out for living this way. Everybody has a different story.
