there are water prof cement's but i just use'd a bag of cement that i had got in to mend the fence ,mixed it with 3-1 sharp sand,1- being the cement,
if you go this route dont use to much water of it will crack when drying just enough to make it stand up

[Tilikum]

Hello Rocky, choose the right season and you'll enjoy it. Crossing the ocean is not a big deal then and slightly boring. Tilikum is mostly standard as when we bought her new in 1980. Came from the USA. Been up and down the Med and Biscay between Holland and Turkey twice, including force 8 in Biscay. She handles nice! For your info. Have a proper sea anchor and you need at least 200 feet anchor chain of 8 mm. If you cannot weigh anchor with a manual winch anymore you might be getting old for the job (I'm 70). We are in the Red Sea at the moment, going North here is nastier than the Atlantic.
Have fun.
John
