We did a call back the past some time back, and would like to revive this. Dabbie sailors tend to move on to more and more sailing achievements and its great to hear about these,or what the guys and gals are doing. Please send me the detail for the website. To kick off a little about Gareth Baxter ex 2008.
Gareth has become a professional delivery skipper and is currently delivering Catamarans for Robertson and Caine. He is now employed as a Captain and as we speak is about 800 nm from Fortaleza Brazil in transit to Tortolla in the Carribean. He has way in excess of 15000 nm in his logbook and holds his RYA Yactmaster off shore,completed at Atlantic Yachting in Saldahna Bay. He has been delivering to places such as India, various destinations in the Carribean,Rio de Janiero, Seychelles and the USA. He has experienced various ups and downs,dodging pirates,arrested in Mumbai for an expired visa, broken gear, storms,but these pale in comparison to the great times,meeting interresting people,and visiting exotic locations.His heart is still with the dabbie and often speaks of the great times and the fantastic learning experience he was fortunate to have.
Please let me have details of what the oldies are doing to my email : obaxter@fnb.co.za.
