Sailing for Seals

When Jenny's husband retired in 2022 the pair set off on a six month voyage to sail around the coast of the UK on board their 36 foot sailing yacht Spirit of Space. En route they encountered impenetrable fog, lumpy seas, rescued a sleepy stowaway and experienced the bliss of arriving safely into harbour. During their travels they dealt with the challenges of living aboard a small boat, explored fascinating unknown harbours and towns, uncovering a sprinkling of their history and experienced the wonder of wildlife at first hand. The story of how Jenny was inspired to start a campaign to save seals from getting caught and injured in plastic flying rings is interwoven through the narrative. 'Sailing on Spirit is not unlike stepping aboard a magic carpet, every journey is fresh and new, we have no idea of what we will find on our arrival and the sea itself is constantly changing.' So if you're up for an adventure, strap on your sea boots, don your foul weather gear and join the intrepid pair aboard as they voyage around Britain to save the seals.
