Boat: Grampian 34-2 made in Norfolk, England in 1978. Fin keel. Skeg Rudder.

I'm thinking of renaming the boat "Hard as Nails" because, bloody hell, I've put her through some rough seas and she's still going strong.

My name is Ian McFarlane.

I'm taking time out from my chiropractic career and working on a writing career to take me through retirement.

I've bought the Grampian 34 in May 2023 and set sail from Southampton, England for Tarbert in Scotland, a sea passage of 800 nautical miles.
