Dear Shipmates
Introduction
I'm a 66 male who had a stroke 11 years ago, which is mildly irritating now but nothing more than that.
For the next decade or so I want to sail around the Pacific, South China Sea and Indian Ocean, immersed in the foods, traditions, art, religions and culture of wherever I drop the hook.
I'm not in a hurry.
I make people laugh.
I'm very private.
I am irreverent.
About the boat, the plans, and current crew
comfortable
The boat is a 15m Bavaria Ocean, large volume, over engineered, able to stay away from civilisation for some weeks.
What is expected of the crew
A snappy salute in the morning, straighten up and fly right - or not.
