I have been following onkudu on youtube but he seems to have gone quite, hope he is OK? Let us know, last seen entering Scottish waters.
i can't help contrasting the ease with which roger got gainful employment even in a foreign country - nz (guessing the visa regs were a lot more lax then?) that gave him more than adequate funds and also allowed him to work on his boat, plus the ready camaraderie of people willing to help out for free with the difficulties of lack of work, long working hours, bureaucracy and absence of available helpers (not necessarily because they don't want to help but because everyone seems to be so much more of a wage slave these days) faced by someone like nathan.
I'll get it posted to you. I must admit I totally forgot about the log. It's safe and well in my stern locker.
No need to post it - save the pennies to get the boat back on the water! Handing back at 2012 start line for the Azores Challenge is fine
Hi folks,
I've only just seen this thread.
Peter, no sir, I'm so sorry about that. I'll get it posted to you. I must admit I totally forgot about the log. It's safe and well in my stern locker. Can you PM your address please?
As for the trip ending, sadly yes. As mentioned above, I ran out of money... well, bit more than ran out, I owe a lot, and the boat kept breaking. The last straw was upon leaving Stonehaven, a 30 knot gust took out the gooseneck and we limped back in. With a gloomy long distant forecast I had to make the choice to call it a day. Every week I was still on the boat and not working was putting me further and further in to the red, and I just could no longer carry on.
A sad way to end it, but c'est la vie.
I need to get around to producing the last video to end it all, but I'm so snowed under with work at the moment, trying desperately to pay back all the money so I can move on. Kudu is in a sad state in Preston docks at the moment with no rig.
I'm still living on her
