Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am a qualified and practising RYA cruising instructor, Yachtmaster ~ commercially endorsed. Also qualified recreational PADI diver. I sailed a Prout 38 catamaran round the world twice over an eight year period, via Cape Horn and then through the Panama Canal. I'm single, fit and keen to keep travelling. I recently sailed single handed to the Mediterranean and back, cruising for 6 months as far as Venice.
