Andy Sheath, his wife Rebecca, and their daughters Elsie and Sophie are preparing to return to the Isle of Man after living aboard the Logos Hope for five years.

The Logos Hope is a ship that travels the world as a floating bookstore. The family has lived on the ship since 2021 and will dock in Douglas from November 6 to 22. Sheath first visited the ship in 2010 as a university student and felt a sense of belonging.

He and his family consider the Logos Hope their home and cherish the memories made while traveling. The family briefly returned to the Isle of Man for the birth of their daughter Sophie, and Elsie remembers visiting a wildlife park and eating traditional meals with her grandparents.

Sheath expressed his family’s excitement to start a new life on the island, calling it a “major homecoming.” The ship’s crew members are also eager to explore the Isle of Man and have asked about local attractions, including the famous motorcycle race.
