That would allow you a summer in FR, the Balearics, etc then on to Canaries for winter cruising/storage, then cross to Carribean in spring with boatman et al.

Good luck and Enjoy..
Thanks for your offer, and no, I am not looking for a «cruise». My former self-proclaimed expert-skipper appareantly was looking for that, not me. Besides, I believe he was looking for my credit card as well. Hard to acknowledge: he was a 30 years time friend. I used to fly airplanes for him....

Would take a lot for me to relive that experience. « Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me».

I am sure you're dedicated to helping me, and I am grateful for that. But thanks for this season and especially for the westward North route slingshot or not!

I just e-mailed my insurance broker. Will see what they have to suggest!

So far, the cargo option stands first on the list. Will see as it unfolds.

Thanks everybody!
