Caribbean or wherever a group of countries group closely enough to allow day hop between 90/180 areas. Flight times, cost and airport access are reasonable. 6 hours to an island rather than three hours to Greece. I did it for two years once. Paris to Martinique. Wonderful sailing in the winter. Enjoy summer in UK. Clear seas, adventure, 3,000 miles of exotic islands between Trinidad and Miami. Take your pick.
Compare that with 90 days a year in the very hot windless Mediterranean, pay expensive storage for 275 days a year for a boat you are simply not even allowed to visit. Except for a useless cold winter visit to use the second 90 day allowance.
As a free human being living in a free world, that word "allowance" does my head in.
What Americans call a no brainer.
That is my plan for 2021, made while sitting comfortably in the proverbial armchair.
