We don’t have 20 years. Maybe we have two or three, maybe ten, in which we can explore, dream and discover. Because Peter is suffering from Parkinson’s. The time in which he can live without major limitations is limited. That’s why we bought a sailboat without ever having sailed before. On the trip from northern Italy to Greece, a skipper taught us how to sail. Now we’re using the trade winds and following the barefoot route around the world, very much in the spirit of Mark Twain. This is our adventure.
