I didn't.
And I told the EU immigrants where I was contracting at the time I wasn't."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

If you want somewhere that is good for sailing most of the year, then it's not going to be "lie on a beach" weather all year round. If you want somewhere that is "lie on a beach all year round" weather, it's not going to be good sailing for most of the year.
...and then if you want to be contracting as well, you need to consider how far you're prepared to travel to get the work and how that will affect the amount of time you have to spend on the yacht or on the beach.
But you'll have researched all of that, and know the cost of a decent boat too. Something around 13m, maybe 15 years old, you should be able to pick up for about £75k for a mono. Cat would be at least twice that.
Don't forget your berthing and boatyard fees.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

This country is proper f**ked.
A poorly thought out referendum forced onto an uneducated and misinformed public by the arrogant Cameron/Osborne who then scarpered at the first sign of trouble, leaving a completely incompetent and misaligned May to take the reigns. Bumbling through for the past year May then shows her greed, attempting to go for a bigger majority whilst all along keeping the same arrogant vein that Cameron/Osborne did, never thinking that her indecision and ineptitude could lead to her downfall.
I'm glad she 'lost'. And she has lost, no two-ways about it. This is a disaster for her and a further blow to the UK. What a frickin farce.
The only saving grace is that the government will now find it more difficult to pass through laws in totalitarian fashion.Last edited by ChimpMaster; 9 June 2017, 12:29.Comment
