Ave amici

[pillum]

Hi all, I'm a newbie here, looking forward to getting some good advice from the old salts here.

I live in KSA, with family in London, England, and just bought a boat, a Westerly 36', in Miami, FL. We'll be pottering around the Florida/Caribbean area for a couple of years or so before sailing her to the Med when I retire.

World cruise is a possibility, but let's get retired first.

Have some sailing experience, but limited to North Sea, Irish Sea, English Channel, BVI, and one Biscay trip from Glasgow to La-Corruna. Did transit the Panama, but that was mostly motor sailing.

This in my third 'real' boat, others were a Javelin 30, and a Hunter HB32RS (the British Hunter, not the US one).

Looking forward to making friends here.

Cheers
Paul

Aveo Amicus.

KSA isn't too bad Saucy, but my wife flatly refused to come here... I'll be moving to Shekou, China next, so that should be good. I lived in Q8 for a while lat year, it was cool there, a US city in Arabia, but without the booze.
