I my name is Brian and together with my wife Ann we purchased an
Oyster Lightwave 48 which we sailed from the
East Coast of the UK via Plymouth UK and down to Lagos in the Algarve where we live. Having sailed and raced dinghies all our lives and although having done a significant amount of
crewing on larger boats this was our first foray into
boat ownership. Our original plans were to
cruise the
Med to
Italy,
Croatia and
Greece but are now thinking of preparing to do the
ARC in 2012.
Oyster are also doing a world rally starting in
St Lucia in 2013 which we would love to do but this depends on whether we can successfully declutter our life at home, who knows. We just wish our busy business lives would allow us to get out on the
water more.
Look forward to participating in the
forums and meeting and hearing from other more experienced cruisers. If anyone is in Lagos,
Portugal do ask for us in Lazyjacks bar on the Marina.
