After twelve and a half years of Ownership, many adventures and a lap of the world, it’s time to move Fathom on to a new home.
I have invested a lot of effort and ££ recently getting her back into first-class shape; all that’s required are some provisions onboard, and Fathom is ready to sail around the world again!
