My boat insurers JGW Direct say they are unable to provide cover for a voyage to Iceland. The Faroes, yes, Norway to 66 north yes, the Canaries, Biscay, the Med yes but Iceland no. No real explanation as to why not, just "we don't". Frustrating or what! Any suggestions as to which companies to...

But I think Mrs Fascadale will prefer the Canaries: cheap flights to a bit of winter sun. Cheaper than going to our place on the West Coast for the weekend

Vraiment ?. Whether it was the best of French……Mai certainement.

To add to the story………. Unfortunately, and despite trying to contact them through three email addresses and three phone numbers I have never had any reply from the Sale marina. Very disappointing. The marina in Tangiers has no space available: Gibraltar is not sufficiently attractive for a...

The unending blessings of our new situation are forcing me to consider 90 days in Morocco Does anyone have any information, opinions, experience of the Bouregreg Marina it sounds quite good, once you are in, according to various sources However I can’t get its website to work, can’t get a...

So an update from the OP Our voyage took us from Scotland to Northern Ireland, no paperwork, from NI to the Rep Of Ireland, no paperwork then ROI to Spain with no paperwork leaving Ireland to another EU country On arrival at a Spanish port of entry, A Corunna, the UK passport holder went to...

Thank you for all your replies and advice In the end we departed south from Greystone, just south of Dublin, with a good six day forecast. We decided to sail close to the Scillies to refresh the forecast so passed between the Bishops Rock and the TSS. Unfortunately the 4G signal did not reach...

I would be very happy to visit Viveiro again. I left the boat there one winter. Lovely little town in a great railway, the FEVE

Gijon, what a good idea. Never been there. M thanks
