Stressed manager planning my retirement, thinking about getting my PER/other qualifications soon, fantasizing about becoming a globetrotting sailing navigator, starting with gaining experience, the ultimate goal being to go on long voyages on my own and the ultimate dream of going around the world without haste.

There have been many trolling trips for years on motor boats, 7 or 8 stays of 1 month each (over the years), living in a motor trailer “making the islands” (Balearic Islands) and lately short trips on a 15-meter monohull sailboat.
