Hi Alan, The January 1st start is a pain but this was why I decided on having a (convenient for me) 6 month BW licence first...
However, having just read Julian's post, I think I'd best ring BW tomorrow and check .... I've got to buy an anchor and chain as well so that I can join the other owners of same and have a little extra (clean and shiny) ballast around my feet at the stern - talking of which, I'm seriously considering modifying the back end and converting it to a semi-trad style - has anybody here done anything similar?
