Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

Oops! Although glass shelves on a boat doesn't seem like the best idea.
Is Ramsgate still as much of a shithole as it used to be? Haven't been there since I moved up north 20 years ago.

It is a funny mixture.
Very stoned cadaver-like zombies sitting around on benches, lots of public day drinking (slightly more vocal zombies), proper punch-ups in the street (we got involved in one at 8pm on Sat night, lot of blood involved - not ours) but a really great selection of restaurants. Met a whole slew of lovely people, but mostly they were visitors in the marina......

love a good beachy head

That's good. Plus the water temperature must help keep things cooler too.

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)........

@Tago-Mago I’m going to do a leg with you and bringing extra oil just in case…
