Sailing From The Ashes SAILING FROM THE ASHES by BrianTurton The Quest for an Authentic Life (ack. Richard Bode 1996)When I bought my yacht in 2006 she was named "Sisley". For reasons that will become apparent, I renamed her "Miramar". With hindsight I could have named her "Phoenix".To a large extent, the finer details of the history of why I was among the ashes are not important and the bare bones should suffice.My first marriage in 1973 lasted for 21 years. During this time, 3 fantastic sons were born, twins were naturally aborted, and I started a manufacturing business in the UK in 1984 after being resurrected from a serious bout of depression by a wonderful lay psychiatrist who was fortunately based in the same small village I lived in.

I had hurriedly chosen the wrong partner (surely we have all suffered loneliness at...more
