Our American friends may not know of the English superhero, Cooperman, but here he is at Rye Maritime Festival demonstrating why he's a little different from Superman. Some amateur flyboarding.
Having decided roughly in which direction to head in order to get to Phuket, we weigh anchor from Ko Lipe on a hot morning. Since the boat is pointing into the wind whilst tied to the mooring we get the mizzen and the mainsail out. Look out for the editing...

I finally get to epoxy in the stringers in my v-berth. Soon I'll have a nice and comfortable v-berth to sleep in when I move aboard the boat. A little bit of insulation should go a long way in making life aboard more comfortable this coming winter. A big t...
