Thank you ...Hello Glen, It’s good to hear from you. Thank you for the link to the Henry Pigott article. <br /><br />The JRA newsletter account of his circumnavigation provides valuable information for the would-be solo sailor wanting to do likewise. He had his fair share of near misses and mishaps. He was no sailing purist, being quite happy to motor hundreds of miles when there was no wind to maintain a schedule so as to be in the right place at the right time. Avoiding bad weather and making use of seasonal winds is essential for safe passage.<br /><br />I like the look of the Seafarer 23 Challenger. I’ve never seen one in UK waters.<br /><br />Yes, it would be good to meet. Please keep in touch. I wish you all the best for your forthcoming challenges.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Bill.<br />William Serjeanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419676353659137355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882921.post-58289203771124506252015-07-14T15:10:57.933+01:002015-07-14T15:10:57.933+01:00Hello Bill,
It's been some time since we last...Hello Bill,<br /> It's been some time since we last communicated but I often stop by your blog especially when I am doing research which was the case recently while trying to find more information on Henry Pigott and GloryII. You had also had trouble finding info on him so I thought I would pass on an article I came across. It was in the issue 14 of Nov. 1986 JRA newsletter which was not available online at the time of your interest. the link is: https://app.box.com/s/6ntp8ng4jsyze3cclhar and the text some way down the news letter. Hope you find it interesting. I am now residing in St. Augustine Fl. a few min. walk to the boat moored in Salt Run and 15 min to the open sea. I'm also preparing a Seafarer 23 Challenger for the 2018 Jester challenge,would be nice to make the Azores challenge in 16 but probably won't make that one but who knows. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods and am still looking forward to meeting you in person when I get to England. All the best to you<br />GlenAvelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428792484778080361noreply@blogger.com
