Accolades

The Adina blog started in 2012 shortly after we took ownership and wanted a simple way to log our travels/experiences as we slowly sail our way around the globe. Since then, we’ve been very honoured to win the odd award and be published. Saying that, we will remain loyal to how we set out, telling our story ‘warts and all’. Most days it is indeed gorgeous clear waters and palm trees, some days it’s poo too!

Quotes

“Their blog is one of the best – full of the excitement of discovery that cruising offers.”
Will Brutton, http://theconstantsailor.com

“Tom’s inspiring, entertaining and compellingly readable account of an adventurous cruise along the almost never sailed Algerian coast is a clear winner. If he had offered me this for Yachting Monthly, I’d have snapped it up and begged him for more!”
Kieran Flatt, Editor, Yachting Monthly

“Thank you for your excellent blog of crossing the Pacific. It’s by far the best written and most informative I’ve read.”
Patrick Whetter, www.shineofexeter.net
