Not sure whether I'm qualified enough for what I'm going to do? Are any of us? Before you did the Atlantic did you think you were "qualified"?
Anyway with any luck I reckon about 8 - 10 thousand miles over the next year...
Oh, and this is my opinion, I have the moral fibre..

No. All I have is a VHF (dsc) radio licence and I attended a day skipper course about 15 years ago.

[/ QUOTE ] That's far too much IMHO - you wouldn't get to see much because you'll be spending so much time sailing.

I know the miles are high, you're probably right John, but I don't want to leave Asterie in the West Indies. In fact I reckon its more like 8,000 miles in 18 months. Remembering this is the first crossing not the last (I hope).

No wonder he's so keen to leave the UK again, that sort of thing is illegal in most countries!

Re: As a surgeon
or a bicyle repair man, not at all.
As a yottie. I'm a longtime sailor with a recent YM with commercial endorsements. I average about 1-2k miles a year on as many different boats as I can in as many sea areas as I can get to. My best year was 4670 miles and my longest trip is Southampton to Largs non stop. Best speed achieved under sail 18.7knots. Strongest wind ever experienced? I don't know it broke the wind gadget and quite a lot of the boat.
I must be good I'm certified. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
