Hurray! Eileen of Avoca is insured for yet another year of wandering.

No mean feat because insurance companies usually don’t like little boats venturing too far. I have to stress that a Yarmouth23 is no ordinary 23 footer, but the efficient staff at Velos Insurance (www.velosinsurance.co.uk) pulled through yet again and I now have comprehensive coverage for the Mediterranean and East Atlantic coast including the Isle of Wight.

I did however have to concede to reverting to 3rd party coverage when sailing to Maderia, The Canary Islands or Cape Verde.

Fair enough! I am willing to bet that I don’t sink on these trips 🙂
