Hi all,

First of all, what's a "survey" - when is it necessary and how much
does it cost?

Next: How long would it take to sail single-handedly from S/England to
the Windward Islands given average weather conditions at a reasonably
favorable time of year in a Contessa 32 or Nic 32?

Next: If one ends up in some distant safe harbor somewhere abroad;
what right (if any) does one have to simply tie-up at a convenient
mooring and go to sleep for say 24hrs? I'm thinking here about an
analogy with a deckchair dude; do you just 'park-up' and wait for
someone to charge you for your stay? And what prospect of getting a
space in such a harbor?

Finally, what's the difference between a "berth" and a "cabin"?

I realize these are stupid questions, but beg your indulgence.

Pity we didn't have Newsgroups when I learned to sail fifty-odd years ago.
Didn't realise you could do it all from an armchair! We had things called
books in those days. Like Larry, I find that being in demand because of my
expertise results in some of the best sailing I have ever experienced. Beats
working for a living!

You can read those from an armchair too.
