- I really have been neglecting this blog in the last few weeks. In my defence, the reasons for this are: 1. I have been busy applying to sail in a famous round the world race next year. To my utter amazement, I have been accepted. About one quarter of the people who are accepted do the whole circumnavigation; the rest, like me, do one or two... more

- ...After setting off from the South Coast, we crossed the finishing line at France. Yes I may have fed my dinner to the fishies on more than one occasion, yes the '3 hours on, 3 hours off' shifts played havoc with my sleeping patterns, and no I can't say with all sincerity that it was an experience I'd repeat too soon, but... I have sailed... more

- I mentioned a couple of posts ago that our friends Justin and Sue were staying with us for a week. They were the ones who took the great pictures of the Turtle we saw while at Spartia Beach last week. Here's a photo Justin kindly gave me of the Challenge 72 Yacht that the charity he works for has recently purchased and taken delivery of. As you... more

- It has been a long time since we published a blog entry, and for that we apologise. We have been in Sydney for two weeks now and what with the getting a flat and a job (which we have pretty much failed to achieve on both counts!) we've let our blogging slip a bit. But fear not, we are ready and armed with a few inspiring tales from our trips.... 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

- I am going sailing and I can't wait! I hope I enjoy it as much as I think I am going to. There is one thing that concerns me a little though... What on EARTH am I going to do about hair and makeup?! ;) more

- Did you know that was a nautical expression? The rest of this blog is a list of nautical expressions that have crossed over into general usage. The cat is out of the bag - The Cat’o’nine-tails was normally kept in a cloth bag Three sheets to the wind - sheets are ropes; if they are loose in the wind then the boat is out of... more

- I have signed up to do a cross-channel sail in three months' time. Yes you read that right. I have never been sailing before but I have now got just over 90 days in which to get my competent crew certificate and some sailing practice in, and then I'll be off on a long weekend attempting to help crew a yacht all the way to France! And why the... more
