All men dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds,
wake in the day to find that it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men,
for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

Debs had worked as a senior sales executive in the global housing market
working on large prestigious developments.
I started my working life as an engineering apprentice in the most
advanced electronics industry in the North East, where I received
what is recognised as the best training available at that time in
precision engineering.
Over the next 25 years I gained a wide range of qualifications in
Health and Safety, Quality Assurance, Teaching. Working in various
industries, power generation, airports and training establishments
including Northumbria College. After ten years as a engineering
instructor, working with the North's leading engineering companies
Rolls Royce and the like and having taken several lengthy breaks to
travel around the world, we decided it was time for a change, so in 2006 we
decided it was time to sell up, pack in our jobs and set off early 2007 to sail
around the world
