I obviously came to the right place. Thanks everyone for all the great
advice, I'll be saving these responses and I DO like the idea of the safety
courses mentioned.

Many many thanks.

Mick

Advice would be greatly appreciated before I do something foolhardy. Any
words of warning regarding time of year and weather? This would be
undertaken on a Ranger 26', preferably staying within sight of the coast.

Thanks,

Mick
