I believe in today's life we all need to have "ME Time" meaning that we all need to enjoy time to relax and give the mind a rest. and by keeping myself busy and relaxing over weekends. We tend to work and chase all these goals and by the time we go on retirement then we are all past our age to enjoy. In short this is my relaxation and my family's happy Space where we relax and have fun in the sun. 


I Belong to TYC Yacht Club and have a sailing Vessel in which I find me time free and wind in your hair, we all need to do some type of exersize and keep the mind away from the work hustle and bustle.
