@neauoire After nearly six months alongside Wreck, our berth neighbour, a large-ish, American-built Finnish cutter, slipped its berth and headed into the Channel to sail westwards towards Brest and the entrance to the Biscay. We will meet them there in a week or so to sail in company to Northern Spain.

@ccohanlon 'tis the season! We have a few people to meet up north but wether we see them there or not is super weather dependent, and out of our hands.

@neauoire I'm excited to see Pino berthed at 60ºN. Is there a chance you might try to winter up there?

Once I get Wrack to North Africa, I'm never leaving the heat again.

@ccohanlon it's very unlikely, I doubt we can afford it, and I don't like the cold that much. We can only stay in the US for 6 months, and wintering the boat would mean that we would have to leave the boat behind.

We never leave pino alone.

Re: our recent conversation -- yeah! That seems like an easy way to keep a boat: always be on it.

@tty some people can afford to sail as a hobby, but they have a lot more means than us.

@neauoire Yeah, I've really been feeling that whilst doing this boat research: you need access to either land ($$$ + rare) or a marina slip ($$$ + rare), and those are so intensely inaccessible to me.
