Hi Kate, and sorry to take so long to get back to you. Lots to say but (as you might have seen) RG is for sale, as Pip has decided to go off on her own adventures. Yes, a sad time for me. Anyway, the best way to reach me if you'd like an email chat about sailing as two women in Europe email me on sarah.tanburn [at] workthewind.com. Fair winds, Sarah

Saw your post about the "lesbian flag" and got a real chuckle. My partner and I are planning to retire, sail the med and wondered if there was going to be any "flack" out there with two girls on a boat. She raced cars for years, so mechanically, I feel we have it handled, and I crewed the Med for 6 years and miss it desperatley. Do you find any bias? I am an american, so I am used to a certain amount of "flack" being given and miss Europe (where I went to school) where there seemed to be less.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Kate
