Buying a boat is about falling in love with the right craft for you and being aware of her dodgy points as well as her good points and also making sure it's not lust - too big too much work nowhere to keep her...
This is the audio edition of the YouTube video on @SailingGently about my new revised book French Canal Routes to the Mediterranean which is now available from my Sailing Book Library http://www.gentlesailing.com/ This is a totally revised version (v12) of my best selling book FRENCH CANAL ROUTES TO THE MEDITERRANEAN. I have included updated information as well as new charts and photographs together with links to transport companies and marinas with cranes.
Good route to avoid Orcas and a really good experience!
This is how to get your boat from the English Channel all the way south to the Mediterranean without having to spend a single night at sea. It is the truly gentle route south for a couple who just want to enjoy their sailing... there is a video from which this audio track is taken at my YouTube channel @SailingGently and the book with full details of the route and all the stopping places is available from http://www.gentlesailing.com/
Atlantic Crossing Guide is about how to prepare your boat for the transit, rig, equipment and how to make the crossing a pleasurable and simple event..this Podcast is the audio version of my YouTube video of the same name and the book which is of course far more extensive can be found at @sailing gently.com
Your boat in the sun is the alternative to keeping it in UK or Channel waters and having a far longer sailing season - maybe sun bathing on board on christmas day... It looks at all the warm Mediterranean facilities from Gibraltar to Turkey to the Caribbean where my boat is now... There is a 45,000 word heavily illustrated available under the same name from my web site at http://www.gentlesailing.com/
