I just saw am supposed to intro myself although have posted a few questions already...
I am 58, just bought a 46'
steel one off "Pionier" and delivered her from
Holland to Brighton in a gale a few weeks ago. Now repairing everything that broke and changing out stuff that simply was not up to world cruising.
Had a beak from sailing since selling my last, also
steel one off,
cutter in 2004 "Paradis Bay". Sailed that
boat 15 years, 5 yrs full time,
Med,
Caribbean then back to UK, then down to Thailand/Indonesia for a while then
single handed back to UK via Suez.
Spent a few months in the Red Sea, Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen and even
Somalia, beautiful, most of it. Didn't get shot at once.
Anyway, this forum is proving very helpful as
equipment has changed a lot since those days and my
new boat is lot more technical than previous one..No
AIS then, and never even used
SSB let alone sat phones and GRIBs..
