Arrrr, pass around the Cornish pasties.

For those of you who may not know, what we think of as pirate dialect is actually a dialect of Cornwall, which is the Southwesterly most county of England, sticking out into the sea.

Although the indigenous language is actually a Celtic language close to Breton, spoken on the other side of the Channel. And some of the wildest and most beautiful places on God's green earth - in Cornwall, you just can't imagine you're in a densely populated European country. Some of the best cruising in the world.

Anyway, welcome!

"almost all OK"


I am probably one of the other ones. And England, isnt that the place where the weather is so atrocious most of the time it forced them to learn how to sail pretty well?
