      I think in the cabins downstairs that helps because they are partially below water level.....

        I plan to take SAKURA down to The Med next May. I say I, because P does not want to do the long passages, and anyway she will miss Tiger.

        I need crew. So if any of you would like a few days or a lot of days cruising adventure, let me know. I will not be able to be specific with dates until we are about to leave, because the weather will dictate when I do leave. So I need a pool of people, and hope that at least one of them can be with me when I leave. Dropping off/picking people en-route is part of the plan

        Rough plan.

        Gosport - Guernsey (for cheap diesel) - Brittany - Chanel du Four, Brest, Bay of Biscay (36 hours offshore), Galicia, coast of Portugal, Gibraltar (for cheap diesel), Ibiza (42 hours off shore)........

          @Giles definitely in for an adventure! I can imagine that you will get the most people volunteering for the Ibiza leg of the journey…you know, just in case a raft of 20 somethings volleyball team with beautifully tanned skin are in distress and in need of rescuing…

            @Giles I’d be up for part of the journey. Don’t mind starting in Gosport either, unlike Mr Women’s volleyball above me

                      SAKURA lifted out this morning for annual tarting up of the undersides. She is a tad dirty......
