Glasgow actually, where they all lived happily ever after.

One of them was asked, a few years later if they would like to go back , just out of nostalgia.
He most definately did not, it's a nice place to visit, but a horrible existance if you live there.

No disrespect to anyone but I would want to be ultra sure that the skipper was highly competent and reasonably risk averse. Not a place to come unstuck in from what I've heard.

Are there any Scots sailing blokes, preferably drunken musicians, who might be able to offer advice or assistance ?
