Ha, yes a couple of times and I did meet people even though I went on my own. I am still in touch with a friend from 20 years ago who has been stuck in Tahiti since last April though I'm generally pretty poor at keeping contacts up. My plan was to buy a boat and cruise locally to get experience then branch further afield. That didn't happen, the boat I bought was in the Caribbean and I stayed there for three years then sailed it back to the UK. Since then I took a (turned into two year) sabbatical up and down Ireland and west coast UK. That was a few years ago now and do feel twitchy sometimes..
