Just About Sailing May 5 2017 - The Journey pt 11, Brighton Dock, then off to Eastbourne
Wow. Part 11. I originally thought I would do about 4 to cover the entire journey. Anyway, here is why the berthing manoeuvre into Brighton went so badly wrong, a look at the biggest marina in the UK, then off to Eastbourne. And a big plug for Eurotek Marine in Brighton who did a same day service on my 30 year old Autohelm Tiller Pilot and got it working again for a mere £25.

Very Nearly About Sailing
Just about sailing is simply a light hearted video diary of someone who has wanted a sailing boat for as long as he can remember. Then in 2015 I decided it's now or never. Let the adventures begin! I bought a lovely Mirage 28 which I recently sailed round the South of the UK (check the short series of 13 videos April to May 2017) to a traditional boatyard in Kent for a refit prior to taking her off to venture somewhere warmer. Who knows where the adventure will take me. I would be delighted if you want to tag along with me and comment.

VNAS July 2025 – Failed attempt at navigation – Falling off the bike – and finishing the bookcase
This one didn't go to plan. I had wanted to test out and demonstrate the OS Maps App. The App is great, but I messed up by trying to run it on my ancient tablet tied to the tankbag. I fell off and broke a bit of the saddle - now fixed. But the bookcase fro...
VNAS June 2025 – Woodwork, making an IKEA Flatpack out of a bookcase
Just a simple woodwork project this month. So simple, that I had to find a way to make it more complicated than necessary.

VNAS May 2025 – Test camping trip on the Himalayan 411 – My first MotoCamping trip ever. All good!
I said last month that I was going to do a test camping trip this month. And I actually did what I said I would do - that never happens. Apart from the swelteringly hot weather, and lack of appropriate hot weather gear, it all went very well. I survived it...
VNAS April 2025 – I’ve just bought a brand new Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 – Why?
I've been wittering on about getting a new bike for a few months. It's finally been decided - and I've bought it. But why this particular bike? Basically because it does pretty much all I want it to do. Moto-camping, travelling, on road, off-road. And it's...
