The Kemp's All at Sea


Katie Kemp, organiser of The Milford on Sea Community Big Breakfast, and her husband, Simon, are currently living on their boat in Greece.

The adventure started from adversity, when Simon unexpectedly lost his job, creating a time to re-evaluate life.
 
After lots of soul searching and discussion with family and friends, Katie & Simon decided to rent their lovely Milford on Sea home to holiday makers to gain an income over the summer months, and then live on board their sailing boat, Rope Sole, in Greece. Returning to their home and family, church and village, for the winter. They described the process as "at times painful, yet also immensely freeing and revealing."

So, now they are in Greece, a place they have enjoyed since their first visit in 1984. As well as enjoying sailing on Rope Sole, they are making a foray into the latest technology, by creating (learning to create!) a blog. The idea of writing a blog came from family and friends who wanted to keep track of them, and for those who are curious or just love a good story.
 
If you would like to keep up with Simon & Katie in Greece, welcome to life aboard Rope Sole.

Note: The 'Blue & White Plaque Logo' is a photo of a plate made for them by Val Sparkes…a talented potter friend who has The Pottery, at Danestream Farm, Sway Road, New Milton. The plaque also acts as a 'back button for users of the blog.
