Cast Off with Confidence

A World Citizen with a passion for travel. Hard work, persistence, and fortitude will beat every challenge she faces, Liesbet wants to explore the world at deck-level. But her desires aren't matched with those she loves and also wants to be with. Pulled in different directions, she takes great leaps of faith (some of this you'll read in her book) - today we'll talk about her take on luck - how she makes it all happen and what's in store for herself and her (unplanned) husband!

What is Cast Off with Confidence?

We never stop learning - especially on boats!
As a circumnavigator and maritime trainer I chat to a variety of sailors - boaties - yachties... people who love anything boating.... choose whichever noun you prefer. We find out what makes people on water tick and how they do it - from personal skills, juggling other aspects of life, to making it work financially.
The achievements are big, whether they are making their cruising life a success or simply navigating their way through the troughs and peaks of everyday life.
