Hey mate, I am an aussie solo sailor too – but now working in scotland saving to live the dream again too – mate, if it is only 90 quid that would save you from another cold winter drop me a note and I will spot you the money. repayable in cold beers at anchor back in oz one day. I share your spirit of adventure and karma has a way of coming back one day…
let me know

Your statement “Sometimes when you’re about to hit a brick wall, you actually do.” reminds me of this one: Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is a train. Doh! Seriously, this is just a temporary setback for you. You’ll get there….and we’ll all be here to cheer you on! Resourceful people like you get things done.

Ditto both comments above. You’ve made the right decision and will, I am sure, have an interesting experience during your stay in La Coruna. [Damn, every time I read where you are, I want to crack open a beer and slice a lime]

Good call – having watched Deep Water recently about what happens to sailors when they paint themselves into a corner I don’t want to see you forced into acting until you’re ready. Sure, you’ve raised expectations and we all look forward to you making it back home in Constellation but you have to do it your own way and in your own time. It doesn’t make it any less of an achievement nor a less interesting story. I admire your fortitude and ability to recognise the true situation but not to let that get you down or to make you want to quit. Just don’t keep us without your updates!

All part of the adventure–we readers signed on for all of it, so don’t be stingy with updates about winter in La Coruna and we’ll expect you’ll make it on the water for the spring.

Hey, it snowed on me yesterday–with 40 knot winds–so it’s no time to take those chances, either.
