Now that I (64) find myself with a little cash, and before it's too late, I've decided to take up sailing with my son Pete (23). We both completed a Competent Crew Course in Hamble in late 2011, but haven't done much since. Went out on the Solent a couple of times last year, courtesy of a guy with 'Second Chance', if you know her.
We've decided to buy a Trapper 501 (or similar) and we want to cross the Channel, then motor to the South of France via the French waterways, and then sail when we get the first opportunity - the Rhone? Pete's bi-lingual, so at least we're doing something right!
We intend to take our Day Skipper's and that's about it! How do you think we'll fare, or will we be biting off more than we can chew? Go on, encourage us!
May I have your comment please, good and bad?
