Here is my scenario...I'm a Canadian citizen (thus a Canadian Passport which allows me 6 months in UK and 3 months in EU countries)...I'm heading to Hamble to complete my Yachtmaster Ocean Certification starting in February...(ending 1st week of June)….At that point I'm going to return to Mexico to sell my home and return to UK/EU to purchase a sailboat to live/cruise on. (Short list will include HR, Dehler, possibly Hanse or Rustler)
My question has to deal with: How would you divide up your time sailing between the UK and the EU countries given my Passport status...(Remember 6 months allowed with UK....but only 3 in EU countries)….and keep in mind that my Insurance broker says that I can't cross the Bay of Biscay between October 1st and April 1st)...as there would be no coverage during this time for obvious reasons.
So there you have it....and I'd be interested to read your responses and/or advise....as it will certainly help in planning out my plans when the time comes.
Thanks in advance.....and Happy New Years!
