The first thing I remember is the thrill of looking around the harbour, the smell of the sea and the sense of being on the move. I also remember the sight of boats and cottages. I never expected to make it anywhere close to sea. In fact, I had never even seen the sea until I was 10 years old. I had never been able to find what I was looking for in one place. For most of my life, I had lived in a house on a seashore, on the edge of the English Channel, in the heart of the north-west. When my father was in my mid-teens, I went with my mother to a party at the back of the house, where she was playing with her son. The party had been a bit of a disaster, as my mother was having an affair with her older brother. It took some time for me to realise why I had to go to such a party. It was when I was four or five years old. I would go on the boat every morning for four months, and spend half of that time looking for a place to sleep. The smell of the water and the sound of boats and cottages made me want to try it out. I thought, "I've got to get out of here. I never thought I would ever be able to live in this place.

My parents didn't know what to say to me, and it didn't help. My parents knew me and they knew what I was looking for. So when I started sailing, they really wanted me to go on the boat. I was excited, because I was going to be a boat captain. I was also very excited that I was going to be able to become a chartered surveyor. I loved it. My parents and I would take each other's children to the beach and play for hours on end. Once we had finished playing, I would walk around the beach, and I would take a dip on the sand. I loved watching the water go round, as if it was the world around me. I had to learn how to swim, to play with the sand and to relax. I had to learn to swim very slowly and I also had to learn to play fast. I was really glad that I had been able to become a chartered surveyor and start my career as a chartered surveyor. I was already a very good sailor, and when I was a young girl, I had already been through so many different situations. I was already well-
