We spent time and money obtaining 10 year US visas in Madrid before we
found out about the restrictions.

One of our dreams was to sail up the east coast of the US and explore.

The regulations and restrictions as well as the potential stress of
being treated like a suspected criminal changed our plans entirely.

What's this "we"? Got a mouse in your pocket? All along it has been
"I", "I", "I", stories about alarms to wake up the solitary sailor,
etc., and now it is "we".

What is going on here?

The "We" is me, my wife and son who sailed from New Zealand to Spain.

"We" got the visas before we decided that he and her go back to Sydney
for his schooling.

"I" have sailed it since then.

Quite simple really. I should admit that I have not really sailed solo
as I have my best friend Sean (pronounced correctly as "shorn") with
me. He is a great comfort at all times. He only stands about 6 inches
when he is standing on all fours and needs his battery changing
sometimes. He is only a stuffed toy sheep but has a great personality
and eats anything I give him, even American Airlines filled rolls.

Gorry but that's a classic... a bloke from New Zealand with a pet
sheep...
