Dear Shipmates

Introduction

My wife and I have recently retired and now have time to do more sailing. We have experience of sailing by ourselves and as crew with others. We enjoy sailing and the challenges it can bring as well as the social aspects.

Since retiring 2 years ago, my wife and I have sailed and crewed many boats. We've sailed off the coast of Norway north of the Arctic Circle, moved several boats around the Mediterranean, and crewed a catamaran from the Azores over to Europe. We have recently moved a yacht from the South of England to the Algarve crossing the Bay of Biscay. We are now looking to sail both further afield and in Europe.
