Hi guys,
I've been scouring this forum for a while biting my lip but im really sorry i cant seem to read any direct answers to my questions.
i guess what im really after is answers from people who have done it or are doing it post brexit.
me and my partner have got our liveaboard all set and ready to leave but brexit is our main figuring out and stopping point (and our savings as we have a target we are close to reaching for the trip but realistically brexit is such a minefield i dont want to be one of those people that say we are doing it and ten years down the road it doesnt happen) .
we are from the channel islands and plan to cross the channel to le harve (potentially heading to the Uk first to do some cruising there, build our cruising knowledge? Tackle some locks in our own language and build confidence… without the 90 days problem)
from here or prior to we are looking at a long term french visa to enjoy the french canals and come out at the bottom of the med (the canals have been our main aim as the start of the trip).
we want to end up in the Caribbean U/S and do like many have done and circumnavigate, gaining experience as we go not wanting to put a pin in where we end up.
the thing is all this 90 day stuff is meaning we are struggling on a route to take on how to get there, comfortably not panicking trying to visa hop.
we dont mind having to leave the boat maybe once and return to it but i just never seem to hear or read from people who have done it, what route they took and how long and where they stayed. We have heard about temporary residency but again… havent read anything solid from people who are..
im in the beginings of planning and i must admit its putting such a downer on our amazing plans we had and i dont even know where to start. Id love to know what people did where they left from, the route they took, or are taking, hints and tips along the way as this will hopefully be the start if my bible.
please feel free to PM me but i guess im after “from the horses mouth” as opposed to suggestions on what to do as i cant plan on a guess.
thanks for your help but at this moment we see our dream fading and its kind of a big blow. But theres peopls out there doing it on youtube so it must be able to be done right?
cheers
