SWMBO has decreed there must be sunshine.
This is to happen in early/mid June.
This MAY be accompanied by sailing activity.
So, if you have a yacht somewhere hot (but, oddly, not Greece), and would like to swap a week's use for two weeks on my very well equipped 42ft cruiser/racer on the south coast of England or in near continental waters, please get in touch.
(If you have a boat somewhere hot and would swap a week's use for several days' free skilled(ish) labour getting her ready for summer, I'd also be able to help).

Wareham is pretty HOT - sometimes
-------------------- Beating is sailing for twice the distance at half the speed and three times the discomfort.

Thanks Aidy,
Yes, it was. However the last two summers here on the south coast and points south (Channel Islands, Normandy, etc) have not been. I've found a website called boatswap, but it seems a bit odd. Has anyone used it with success?

Try Emsworth, the Costa del Sol of the mudflats, sun comes out as the tide goes out. When the tide comes in, you go into the Lord Raglan or Coalie as the sun goes in.
