Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 274 Steve Payne pt 1 England to Malta on a motorboat

Quick bio:

 

I was born on the south coast of England, but moved to London as soon as I could. After a few silly jobs, I decided to become a photographer. I had cards printed up before I even owned a camera.  Started out working for the music press and ended up working for The Evening Standard, London's newspaper, but I slowly slipped back into the music industry and ended up directing a bunch of live concert videos. Then I got invited to do a couple of jobs in Los Angeles and fell in love with the place ….. so I stayed ….. for 27 years. I returned to the UK to look after my elderly mother, after she had floated off into the ether, I had some choices to make. To be honest, I didn't see a great future in the slowly declining United Kingdom, so I bought a boat and headed south. I wasn't even sure where I was aiming for, but Malta kept creeping into the conversation. After two wonderful years travelling on the rivers and canals of France, then around the coast of France, Italy and Sicily, I ended up in Malta. It's been quite an adventure.

You might wanna take a look at a couple of my videos or background.
