Over a period of 11 months I was constantly afraid that Youth Care would lock me up. It was all a frightening and traumatic experience. So often these terrible memories come to me. I can't ignore them.

At sea, I feel comfortable and I come to rest.

As soon as I get on my boat, something inside me changes. Then I really feel what living is.

I follow my own head. And if Im determined to do something, then Ill make sure that I make it happen.

I really like boats. If you want to go somewhere, you just take your house with you.
