Greetings from Dubai

[hughhendry]

Hello everyone, as I am nearing my retirement (early) I have decided to quit the Power brigade and go sailing for free instead. I am in the process of buying a ketch and wish to sail around Malaysia for a bit, langkawi is were I will be based, in between Dubai work, and wish to take the "Milk run" later after a year or so getting used to sailing. Looking forward to being an active member and friend to you all, so thanks for giving a little latitude to a new sail member, (already 1000nmiles as crew/watchkeeper) who has a lot to learn. Hugh

A warm welcome to you, Hugh! Hope you enjoy the Forum.



[p.s. if you think sailing is "free", you have a huge shock coming!]

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Hugh.

It’s good to have a “grownup” coming over from “the dark side” (power boats), and sailing into the “light’.

Is it true that Dubai is a good place to buy boats right now as a result of the recession?

Welcome and good luck with your travels.

Hey Hugh...welcome to the forum.
We're in Yemen and get to Dubai often.
Good luck with the boat buy.

Paying up to 1000$ every time you go out in a Power boat, sailing is free trust me...

Aloha and Welcome aboard!
Hope to see you sailing sometime.
