Sailing and hiking

After doing a hike yesterday, I find myself in quite a reflective mood. During the hike, we talked about the fact that as a child, our parents used to take us into nature. I clearly remember the Sundays with my parents, where we went for a walk in the forest. In the Netherlands there are not that many mountains. Or that we walked on the beach from one town to another, eating sandy eggs during lunch with the sand crunching for hours afterwards between your teeth... We had free travel on the train, so we normally did a walk from one station to the other. As a parent now too, I realise how important those seeds and memories are.

My parents clearly planted the seed for being in the outdoors.

Website boat

Today I had an appointment with two great guys, who are going to help me develop a proper website for our boats. At the moment the plan is to do two sites, the one from Ataraxia and the other site is for the commercial side of the school; Whisperboats Pty.

The main goal of both sites is the same: sell a boat. So what sort of info is necessary if you look online at a boat; what tickles you to write that mail, or pick up the phone to go and start looking at it?

We came up with a plan of action to assist me with my goal.
