Michael will give us an insight into what its really like sailing in high latitudes, away from that pesky Mediterranean heat! A retired marine engineer, he spent 16 years at sea followed by many years in Japanese shipyards building container ships and finally a stint in charge of a Japanese refrigeration company. Since 2006 he has sailed over 40,000 miles single handed visiting Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland in his Moody 42 Centre Cockpit ketch, Pangey.
