Walking down the dock
Was walking down the dock yesterday and passed a small boat in one of the slips, see: http://www.meder.hu/photogallery/dis...up&cat=0&pos=2 Got to talking with the guy and discovered that he has sailed to boat from the Adriatic across the Atlantic, through the canal, out through the islands and all the way to Thailand. about a 2.5 year trip so far and when he leaves here he is headed for either Sirilanka or India and on to Oman and then the Red Sea. The guy is a pleasant young chap and we had quite a long talk about all kinds of things but sufficient to say he is not one of Larry's "white shoe" yachtsmen. Just a regular guy, not much money and just doing his thing. Sailing around the world. When you meet a bloke like this it really makes one wonder about the people who believe that a big boat is needed for cruising, or that one needs the latest in electronic stuff or communications equipment. One solar panel, one KISS wind generator, one 9 HP outboard, one GPS and one Tiller Pilot. Get in and go. Rather then describe the boat and owner have a look at www.meder.hu for the guy's website.
