Fairwyn: Nancy Carlman

Nancy shares the story of a life shaped by wind, wood, and wanderlust. Speaking with warmth and humour, she recalls how she and her husband Stephen found their beloved wooden yawl, Fairwyn, restored her with care, and set off to live at sea for more than fifteen years. From the Pacific Northwest to Mexico, through the Panama Canal and across the Atlantic, and all corners of the Mediterranean. Their voyage became a way of life. Nancy’s reflections reveal not only the beauty and challenges of ocean travel but also the friendships and deep sense of freedom that come with living afloat.
