Ok so now my plan is really taking shape.
I buy the boat and learn to sail and maintain the boat in local waters before setting off to the canaries and re-supply. Next its across the Atlantic to Uruguay, more re-supply. Then its down to the beagle channel and salmon heaven in the most beautiful setting imaginable.
I've found some information from people planning on the same thing. So I'll be watching their plans develop. Apparently Uruguay has less red tape than other countries nearby. And approaching Patagonia from the Atlantic is doable. Apparently the prevailing winds are only a problem around the top bit of south America. Once you're round the corner its fine. So it makes sense go south to canaries and go from there. Going from the Caribbean is a terrible idea. It might be good to have another stop further down Africa though.. Somewhere near Liberia. Any thoughts?
Just realised I don't need a visa for the Falklands. That might be useful.
Where there's a will there's a way!
