In the Spring of 2004, Bob and Liz set off in their Warrior 35, ‘Yanina of Bosham’ to see how far round the world they could get without sinking, starving or pushing each other overboard. Yanina hasn’t sunk, they haven’t run out of food yet, and fortunately both Bob and Liz are good swimmers.
From the trip so far a book has emerged: 'On the nose'. So called because if you ask any Mediterranean yachtsman where the wind was blowing on his last trip, that's what he'll tell you. It started with Liz's newsletters to friends and family, and then the cartoons gradually took over. It covers the first 18 months or so from Scotland to Siracusa. For anyone who wants to explore the Mediterranean on their own boat, and who needs a reliable, accurate, thorough and unbiased guide to cruising the Med, this book is almost entirely useless. But for cheap laughs it’s unbeatable.
