Hello, from Spain
I hope I'm welcome here, as I'm not a British sailor, but a Dutch Engineer.
I'm 66 years old, and spent 25 years at sea, mostly on deepsea Tugs, and Offshore material. But I also spent a couple of years on Coasters aswell.
I'm now retired, and moved my a** to Spain, because the weather in Holland is not what I want to endure the rest of my life.
So if there are any questions please ask

Re: Hello, from Spain
Welcome aboard Jack, as to weather, we mostly have smooth waters aboard here, with the occasional short squall, but I'm sure you'll live through it, we look forward to your stories. Hope you took more than your a** to Spain, otherwise it could be a bum life!
