I never followed my dad’s footsteps in the world of the outdoors, choosing to have a career working with children and families. Although I spent my childhood on the water and for me the sea has always had a calling.
A childhood filled with adventures
For those of you who have known us Jeffs for a long time and paddled with us as a family, you all I am sure will also have memories with me in small storage hatches, or me and my sister (and often the dog as well) in the centre hatch of the family double. For those of you who don’t I have dug out a few of those classic photos to share for you to enjoy.
A move to Plymouth
As I moved my life to Plymouth to live with my partner and now have my son, we as a family spend as much time as we can enjoying the ocean surrounding us.
The opportunity to create new adventures with the family I have created for myself.
I have supported my dad with the production of his repair kits since they first came out, for anyone who has the 1st edition of the SKANA navigation aid, I tied all those knots for hours on end.
Hanging up his paddles
And so, hear’s to a new chapter for Expedition Essentials where we continue to offer top quality products, to the same design as always, to create new products (still with Howard Jeffs guidance and support) and continuing to be kept as a Jeffs family business.
Thank you
We thank you for supporting us and it leaves me to finish off with a Howard Jeffs quote.
‘Hope to catch you on the water sometime!’
Fondest wishes,
Naomi
