Hi everyone,
I signed up with this site as it has some awesome information and everyone is very friendly. The reason I'm looking at these sites is that I'm looking at sailing around the world or at least the fun
parts. I live in a little town on a coast line of
australia and have never really traveled or been on a holiday. I know what have I been doing. Well I love my
fishing and being out on the
water. I have a Nereus
boat of 4.8 metres, this aint big enough for the trip in mind. I would like to got the carribbean and bali and
mexico etc, chase the sun basically. I hope to be able to make the big trip in about 7 years. So any
advice on boats and what things to look out for and where to go would be greatly appreciated. I dont plan on going thru any major storms(but who does). I was looking at when the time comes for maybe a newish
beneteau 40" 2
cabin or something similar. I very versed on
power and energy
consumption so have that side of things worked out, so will be running fridges and air con when needed. The main thing is
boat suitable for the trip, I do know the difference between blue boats and cruisers, and I believe a cruiser would prabably suit me.(but I do like
advice and hear from different people and their experiences.) I would prefer a boat that is a bit roamy and can be sailed
single handedly, although I will not be sailing alone. I'm unsure of cruising permits and the pirates issue. I would hope to be working my way up from the
east coast of strayla and thru
asia. So I've read that do operate in these areas. They are fun on the movies but having a bunch of guys shooting me with aks sounds a bit boring.
Cheers
Bubbles
