we researched the maldives immigration policy and realised that it could create a problem if we just arrived by plane ( you and us both we all thought ) they needed all sorts of things , so we thought lets arrive by sea , we both love the halcyon and we could have a lazy sail here , after all folkboats are sailing around the world all the time , thats why we had that bulky engine removed ( i know that to i thought ) and we could just keep extending our stay until the authorities realised that we were really nice people that could contribute to their economy , by the way our company , after the initial set up costs of course , is 100 % legal .
