More Reading

Reading the pilot books for where we are planning to go is really exciting.  Great pictures of beautiful anchorages and warm, clear sea.  Can't wait to get there!

It's not just about dreaming though.  There is also a lot to learn about the local weather conditions, immigration rules and other regulations.  It might sound like a chore but researching it all beats working through an in-tray at work by a long way!

One of the things we will need to narrow down is a shortlist of locations where we could overwinter at the end of 2013 and into 2014.  The pilot books help there but there also a lot of good information on the Web.  Interestingly it seems that if you spend more than about 3 months in an EU country then you should register as living there for tax reasons.  That might have some significant implications so we'll need to properly understand those EU rules.

I'm also reading up on fishing - watch out Tunas, here I come!
