I realise it's now been a couple of years since I have updated this website - going to try to fix that, there are a lot of updates to make - so please bear with me, as always very happy to get any feedback - good or bad.
This is my sailing blog website; I hope to keep an on-line diary of all my sailing antics, courses, trips out etc..
I have been Dinghy sailing in the Itchen river for 2 seasons, 2010 I bought my first own boat, a West Wight Potter 14, 2011 saw this grow up to a Leisure 17SL, then 2012 I moved up to a Hunter Horizon 23, What an amazing boat that was, however the desire to travel longer, faster, safer has led me this year to purchase a Moody 28 Bilge Keel.
This is our story so far..
