The name is Oskar. Found this excellent forum a couple of days ago and must say it's really interesting reading.
I've been costal sailing since I was little. Last September I Crewed the Atlantic from
Halifax,
Canada, To Brest,
France. Really nice
experience where i guess we had most of the problems you will
experience at sea. Ended up well though.
For the moment, me and my friend (first mate) are save some
money to buy a
boat in the US this Jan.
Boat budget is 20 000$. The trip is planned to a roundabout in the
Pacific ocean during 2009. If we decide so during the trip we'll
head for a circumnavigate and hopefully en up in
sweden, home sweet home.
Right now we're kind of into the Islanders, specially the
Islander 36 that we find is a really good boat for that
money. But, if someone have other boat suggestions that we must look into that's really welcoming.
I hope to find a lot of good reading here and hopefully some enthusiastic help from all of you

Ship ahoy
