Today I have been trying to figure out which insurance company to use for Askari - trying to compare the terms and conditions is one thing, then you get onto the fact that they all have different cruising areas. So I have done the sensible thing for reviewing latitude and longitude positions and get a globe out....
This very technical globe was given to us by Richard Ayers (a fantastic surveyor and friend) who surveyed our last two boats; we have a great story about him as he flew to Mallorca with Andrew when we bought ReVision II and they ended up sleeping the night on a balcony in the middle of winter after a 'bloke in a bar' found them accommodation....
We love this globe and have actually used it for passage planning - here's the proof! A very young looking Andrew mid Pacific on Rev2 in May 2006; with the same beach ball globe and Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes - both which will of course have to be packed up soon for Askari....
Enough of memory lane - back to the insurance spreadsheet!
