It seems to be quite a big bite

Well, buying a Yacht seems rather romantic to many people including me.  But the first day I 'owned' one I was quite stunned such a complex thing!

A whole sanitation system, an engine with the added complication of sea water, sea water all round!! multiple electrical systems; shore power, engine battery, lighting and gizmo power...

Gizmo's inc; radar, depth finder, radio, gps.... Outboard motors, navigation light, fenders, knots, winches, anchors.  Nothing romantic about learning what all this stuff needs from me!

 So in summery:  I have moved my life 1500 miles south, learned another language(ish), can do an impression of Las Sevillanas (a dance) and now am a Yachty.  Hmm, embrace life and live it? I suspect as the story unfolds there will be much prosaic stuff to report regarding my yacht.
