- Which should come first? Above all a blog should be interesting to read imo. I like lots of pictures and I like happy stuff. It balances out the bad things and gives a certain equilibrium. It isn't enjoyable going over unpleasant ground and so to add some light relief I like to include some fun pictures. After all our... more

- I have my own theories on why the biggest purchase of our lives so far (apart from real estate) has turned to a disaster. This is my attempt to put them into words. I run a very small business. It has taken many many years to develop it from absolutely nothing into something 'dependable' that feeds, clothes and waters the family and pays... more

- I am so pleased with the way my son has taken to snorkelling :D He has also discovered he likes taking underwater video. I already included one of his shipwreck videos, but had to include this one as well : It is a bit slow to get going, but as the shipwreck emerges out of the gloom it is a very eery moment. There were two shipwrecks when we... more

- Ahoy landlubbers!!! Aaargh!!! Shiver me timbers. At last we got underway and onto the water yesterday. As previously explained on this blog we are unable to make use of the £37,000 plus Powercat 525 we bought from Powercats Ltd of Redruth and Poole, Cornwall in February 2008 as it was judged unsafe and not fit for purpose... more

- Powercats have two current models the 525 and 695. We bought our Powercat 525 Evolution in February 2008 for over £37,000. It is now out of the water condemned by a marine surveyor as 'unfit for purpose' and as having 'unsafe electrics' amongst other defects. Here are a pictures of a couple of them. The keel band on one of the... more

- Another great article about the new Challenge Yacht in Swansea The boat looks great and all reports back from the happy owners are that it handles like a dream and is a skippers fantasy in reality :) Now back to slightly less grandiose sailing ;) I mentioned yesterday that I knew of two boats that were all that they were expected to be... more

- There are two fantastic boats that I know of that turned out to be everything that was expected of them. The first is owned by Swansea Bay Sea School and the principal of the School was the friend of ours we introduced to Powercats Ltd as he was seriously thinking of purchasing some of their boats for the school as safety boats... more

- If we can't be on top of the water in our Powercat 525 Evolution powerboat, then at least I can be under the water instead!!! Here are some underwater pictures I took yesterday of the fish at Antisamos beach near Sami in Kefalonia. Beneath the surface are myriad fish. Teeming to get some of the bread I am holding for them. Above the... more

- since our Powercat 525 Evolution catamaran was declared 'dangerous' and 'unfit for purpose' we have had to find other ways to fill our time. Time that we would have been spending out on the clear blue waters of the Ionian sea around sunny Kefalonia. One way of using my leisure time is to keep this blog and surf the web for useful... more

- Recreational Craft Directive - can the CE mark be trusted? RYA seems to think not

- Warnings went out urgently today to RYA Powerboat Instructors. Hubby being one of them received an email to counsel against being confident that CE markings on a powerboat actually meant that the craft was safe!!! This is ironic given our own situation. The warning refers to an accident suffered by a powerboat instructor... more
