Not just cities, but towns and cities in new countries I either haven’t visited or haven’t visited in decades.
Back in my 20’s and 30’s I did a lot of sailing and lived on my own small yacht in the Mediterranean for 5 years which I thoroughly enjoyed.
At the age of 53 and possibly having a mid life crisis along with some other trauma and life changing and possibly affirming events over the last couple of years I have decided I would like to sail again while the spirit is willing and the flesh just about up to it too.
This time I thought I’d like to see more of the UK, Europe’s Atlantic coastline and the Baltic. Writing this post I’ve even thought of a potential route, weather, winds and tides permitting: from the UK down to the Channel Islands, across to Brittany, north to the Baltic and then eventually back via the Shetlands. There seem to be so many fantastic and beautiful old towns on this route and sailing is a cheap and efficient way to see them (as long as you don’t get too scared or seasick).
I’ve even started looking for boats that would be suitable and found the below one, the Vindo 40. They’re beautiful boats and very seaworthy, unsurprising having been built in Sweden, but they’re not the only type I’d consider as long as it can cope with the odd gale.
Adios, aggravation
