A question for Nick

[Windfinder]

Is this like ask Elvis? Can I join in?



Nick, which US presidents feature on Mount Rushmore?

Hi Mike,

No, we never heard any more about Jim, and a search on Google for his supposed forthcoming book title, 'Off The Shelf' , returns nothing significant.

I had no reason to doubt his tales of having sailed his MacWester to Brazil and back however, and would regard it a a solid seaworthy boat, if a litttle slow and not at its best to windward.

Go for it, and please keep us here on BM posted . . .

maybe a southern softy but still went to school in Edinburgh therefore spending several years in Scotland.

It is only by accident that this has come to be seen as a 'Scottish' sailing forum . . . I have to admit that at times I am a little worried that these forums may ber seen as parochial, but I hope this is not the case and would like to see a big increase in the numbers of sailors from other parts on here.

Please do keep us updated regularly if you set off into the blue Mike. - I see from your profile you do a bit of webbery, which of course you can keep going on your travels. We ended up beside another web designer taking a year out with his family in Madeira and then met up with them again in the Azores. I have fond memories of sitting on the boat in shorts in a Canarian marina using a borrowed WiFI conmnection to chat to UK clients on Skype who did not even realise that I was not at my desk in wintery Argyll.
