September 2002 - Mark and Charlie have another dream....but this time its not so big! As kids are not on our agenda for a good while yet, we've decided to take a bit of a dive break and get some sailing miles under our belts instead. We're helping to sail 'Fidgets Five', a 32" Contessa across the 'pond' during Oct - Nov 2002, and will then start work as a skipper/hostess team on a luxury charter yacht in the Carribean for the next couple of years. We've tried life in London since Dive The Dream and it didn't agree with us so this'll be a nice way to earn a living for a while! We'll be in touch.........

JUNE 2002 - We received a surprise email from Truck saying she missed us but is now on a new, exciting adventure and loving the pampering she's getting from Max! See www.oceannomad.com for details on Truck's next journey.
