I have sailed 300 miles and mostly single-handed (Florida, Exumas, CUBA, Abaco) I have only ever met brilliant sailors. In 22 months I only ever had to lock my boat whilst in Nassau Harbour!!. I have also met many lone sailors - both men and girls who are always made welcome and in any of the cases the ''Cruisers Net'' on
VHF ch68 at 8.15 is proof they are all welcome
