Hello to you all and thankyou for the great welcome, I feel at home here already and am very glad I joined. I recently started on the YBW forum, which is full of chattering idiots who swamp the real boaters there and I was losing my interest in yacht
forums fast.
Yes I am English but live in Southern France. We did a lot of
med cruising in the 70s with various
boats and were based at
Malta, Andraitx, Grimaud, Isle des Embiez, Ibiza and finally the Club de Mar in Palma where we
sold the last
boat. We had at least one year
mooring in each of those and never paid more than £300.
We finally got to give it another go in 2003 and had a new
Oceanis 311 delivered to Ginesta south of
Barcelona. Stuck there for 4 days until the
boat was ready and the discos were going until 7.30 am. Not a good start and we realised that it was going to be different.
The big problem was that we didn't realise how difficult finding a mooring would be, so we have been in a Port à Sec and hardly used the boat. At last we have a place booked in
Spain so we are getting keen again.
