Chris Tudor: "My dive buddy and I spent 10 glorious days on this beautiful liveaboard, cruising down the northern atolls of the Maldives. The diving provided daily encounters with sharks, manta rays, octopuses and all the other marine life that inhabits this wonderful region of the Indian Ocean."

Damian Walker: "Far from plain sailing, my £3 car boot boat was heading towards a point of no return. This tranquil looking flooded golf course was next to the fast flowing River Brent, in West London. I like to do a wind check and push the boat out towards a piece of land I can reach with my wellies. And armed with a pound shop fishing rod I usually get my boat back. It's a good place for quiet reflection, especially as the sun goes down. There is a risk I won't get my boat back if the wind changes. But that's the adventure of budget travel."

Alison Clewes calls this the End of the Voyage: "Ships hulls on the South West Coast Path at West Yelland [in Devon]. We sat in a wrecked boat and ate pasties. The only sounds being the chill wind and the lonesome sound of the curlews. Felt quite apocalyptic."

Shane Barker: "I often wonder what it would be like to be on a voyage to a distant planet or star. As I will never afford a space rocket to get me there, I guess I'll use what transport I have."
