Indeed. I do like living on my boat but the sea is calling me. It's been calling for decades but I can ignore the call no longer. I think my overseas trips are going to be difficult if not impossible from now on. The thought of going a year or more without being able to do the stuff I love on the ocean fills me with a mixture of dread, and panic. I'll still have my kayak, there's a 6 1/2 mile long estuary where I'm going. Will I still be allowed to come on this forum? Well that’s a bit of a shock but yes, I suppose we will still allow you to participate! When you say “the sea is calling” do you mean you want to get a job on a ship, buy a sea going boat, or just kayak on the estuary? Certainly kayak on the estuary but also take the yak out to sea for fishing during suitable weather. Surfing during the winter months (rarely a swell in the summer). Try to achieve a lifetime ambition of catching a bass over 10lb. And then in the River Mawddach they have sea trout and salmon, cheap yearly ticket if you live locally. Lots of good walks locally, there's an influx of tourists during the summer months (opportunities to 'socialise'). So many things to do. Very little crime. Very few immigrants. Bring it on.

You'll be an immigrant won't you? Not really, father is Welsh, every generation we've traced before him too. In any case there aren't generally huge behavioural differences between the Welsh and the English. Experience tells me that sometimes, or perhaps often, this can't be said between the British and those from Africa or Asia. Given the choice, I'll go for having the odds in my favour, rather than against me. Perhaps that makes me racist. Whatever, better to be racist than steadfastly ignoring all your life's experiences, in favour of blind submission to the doctrine of one world one homogenous group of happy people.

Maybe not many immigrants, but surely lots of tourists around those parts? A consequence of it being a nice part of the country, of course. Some of the tourists may be brown.

I don't have a problem with brown faces. My problem is when 'modern progressive thinking', backed by the law, tells me I should ditch my life experience in favour of their mantra. If I don't, not only might I be breaking the law, but I'll also be the target of mass derision and questions as to my morality. I'd prefer to live in an environment where this facet of my life experience is less relevant, bordering on being meaningless.
