Probably sensible

I thought this may be of interest to the less experienced Single handers and an insight to a day in the life of a single hander out on the wide ocean. Its similar to the film "Gravity" but on water. Only joking, just thought the parody was funny. Mal (baby steps to the ocean)

Just in case some of you haven't noticed. TONIGHT (Sunday) A Documentary about Bondie Haslers most daring raid . BBC 2 7.00 p.m "THE MOST COURAGEOUS RAID OF WW11. Malc

(To begin,What I do) Sit down in a warm room with a hot cup of milky coffee, usually a Sunday morning with some "Sunday morning " music playing softly in the back ground and write a list of the lists you'll need.
