    Considering sailing around Britain?

    2012 a good to moment to sail around Britain thanks Chinita I agreed with you - the cost of sailing a boat (rather than motoring) around Britain is comparable to 4 weeks camping - but the experience is "priceless"

    nature in balance For nature to be able to do her stuff, each species needs at least one predator or something that keeps the numbers from becoming out of balance.. It well past the time that real nature lovers chose to reduce the numbers of Canada Geese to give mother nature a hand

    Considering sailing around Britain?

    I agree, there is nothing like sailing up an estuary for the fist time... sailing around Britain takes time - it is time that has to be allocated from other purposes (such as working for a salary).. you can afford it.. I believe it is just a matter of priority. I did it :)
