Am I alone?

You\'re not alone...

No blue water ambitions at all.

Mind you, sailing on the East Coast you only see brown water...

explore the whole coast of Norway from Oslo to at least 70 North! Been there, done that too; quite incredibly eye-opening and mind-blowing; and not just visually!!

it's bloody hard work this blue water cruising and difficult to settle back into the "real world" whatever that is, anchored off an ideal location is great (even snorking over the anchor to check it's set) but carrying stores back to an anchored boat finding banks, petrol, milk etc is all a big chore, but hey waking up for a swim and feeding the turtles makes up for it!
As for the trans atlantic bit - memorable and I'd do it again.

Helped by popping down to the boat in the afternoon for a boat 'fix' /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

No desire to go bluewater myself, would love to have the time to leisurely sail around the uk and ireland.
Just stopping where i like for as long as i like, and not having to check the watch and dates before the summer hols are over and back to work...

will have to wait till i retire ???? Just hope i am still fit enough...
