Naaw. Today it has to be Hamble Point, rain sheeting in horizontally, wind blowing everything to pieces, so much murk that you can't see across to the oil terminal and omebody offering me lunch in the Ketch Rigger. Now I know why I berth in Palma.
getting back on it's feet
great varied cruising grounds with lots of shelter
warm clear sea for messing about in - part of boating for me
cost of living
20 years time it will be just like the balerics - get in early!
