First Time Cruisers

[base]

Hi friends,

I'm an enthusiastic Dutch sailor, looking to cruise the Mediterranean. My partner and I saved up over the last few years and are now preparing our first cruising adventure. I hope to find advice and experiences here from others who have sailed in this area.
We're also buying a boat for the first time, so I'll also look for tips in this area.
When we are underway, we'll share our own experiences here!

Great to meet you all! - B

Welcome to the forum.

I have no experience or advice regarding those cruising grounds. So... just a welcome.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, base.

G'Day Base,
Good luck with finding that boat and getting away.......
Cheers
JOHN

Just use a little caution in reading though the site that you don't let some of the views talk you out of the type of boat that YOU like. In the end all boats are generally good if in sound condition overall. Welcome to CF.

Aloha and welcome aboard!
Searching for the right boat for you is a lot of fun. Reading and talking with sailors helps narrow down which one might be best. If you can go to marinas and have a look that is always a great time.
kind regards,
