Thanks for your good wishes Don.
I hope you manage to work some sailing back into your schedule - it has been the best thing I've done for many years to leave work and take an extended break in such a manner.
Have met many interesting sailors on the way around. Most notably here in Lerwick; a dutch couple have just arrived from St Johns, Newfoundland. They've been to the Faroes several times and Spitzbergen once - they don't recommend it in anything other than a steel boat due to all the ice!
Will look out for Dina and Jim. It would be nice to share stories with another GK owner.
The spam's a nightmare - with limited connectivity I'm struggling to keep it down. Other than requiring people to log-in before posting a message (which I wouldn't want to do) I'm not sure I have a solution.
Kind regards,
Nico
