Hello Mum, I’m Okay But ...

There is no such word as 'can't'

The story of an ordinary English girl's zest for travel. In 1966 commuting to London from Essex day in and day out, Terri was determined not to follow the norm of work, marriage and kids without experiencing what the world had to offer. Not being able to afford to just get up and go, she decided to join the Wrens. Join the Navy and see the world, she thought. But thanks to a few misdemeanours, it didn't quite go as planned. She then spent the next ten years on private boats. A life-changing accident in the second year didn't stop her continuing the lifestyle she loved, and she refused to give up. Her sailing adventures took her along the coast of Europe, through the Caribbean, the Panama Canal, California, and up and down the Intracoastal on the east coast of America - places that she never expected to see in her wildest dreams as a teenager. A truly inspirational memoir that also includes the escapades of a remarkable cat that Terri collected along the way.
