The interesting bits of sailing round the UK. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Newer posts →. Back on board at Padstow. August 10, 2013. Due to Spot being an undesirable Alien, he and I missed out the Southern Irish leg but at least this gave cousin-in-law Neil a chance to be Skipper’s mate (both first and second). I soon found that I would have to get used to living in a goldfish bowl as we were going to be stuck here for some time. But his joy was to be brief……. July 28, 2013. Sadly,...

The interesting bits of sailing round the UK. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. October 1, 2013. This post is ridiculously late as I have been rather busy. It should have been posted on August 27th! Leaving Plymouth Sound we passed the Great Mew Stone off Wembury Point which hosts a gunnery school. However, the absence of red flags meant we were safe to pass. This marine conservation area is rich in plant and animal life. And this MAY be a Balearic. A ridiculously long winged Shearwater.

Final Canal Day | skootysue

The interesting bits of sailing round the UK. Skip to primary content. July 4, 2013. Returning past familiar sights, the ‘skull and crossbones snow patch now resembling more a demented duck. After some debate who should take the wheel, Spot won. After leaving the canal we headed back down Loch Linne towards Oban, passing JamesV’s Stalker Castle. Denied entry to a full Oban Marina we headed to Dunstaffenage. Birds for today: finally managed to capture a Spotted Flycatcher at Corpach Sea Lock. Well, I was ...

The interesting bits of sailing round the UK. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Monthly Archives: March 2013. I spent much of this winter watching these tenacious small Grebes around the coast of Portland and they have come to symbolise for me the battle against the harsh conditions which we are currently experiencing. But the grey/black unwelcoming seas still support life and allow passage to breeding grounds. March 26, 2013. The Skipper and a mate! March 26, 2013. March 19, 2013.

I’ve got behind my self so for the moment I will miss out our two day stay at Stromness and return to it subsequently. We saw the Lifeboat out searching). Then we said a reluctant goodbye to Stromness and set off South (strange feeling after all that going North). We took a quick detour round the corner to see an Old Man we know. Skipper caught being excited that we ...

Anyway, when I arrived I found Paul and Val’s boat, ‘Winsome, Losesome’ berthed next to ours and they were ready with some remedial gin and tonic. We dined in Jolly Jacks which is always good and oblivion followed shortly after. The next day we waved goodbye to Paul and Val and arranged to meet again at Salcombe. August 20, 2013.

The interesting bits of sailing round the UK. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Monthly Archives: June 2013. And back to to Inverness just in time for an Osprey. June 30, 2013. Returned to Inverness but with passengers, Jessica and Tommy with Daisy dog and brother Michael. Mick had already introduced himself to the delights of Inverness by virtue of walking from the bus station so I took him towards the nature reserve to redress the experience. Unfortunately they missed dins at Oakwood ...
