Just About Sailing – Channel Trailer
It's taken me 18 months to get round to doing a channel trailer. This is just a few short clips of previous videos for new viewers. If you don't like this video - then you certainly won't like the rest. I think this trailer disappears if you subscribe; th...
Just About Sailing April 6 2017 – The Journey pt 6, round Lands End from St Ives to Newlyn
Goodness. This is the 6th video this month. My aim is still to do one per month, but at the same time I like to be as 'real-time' as possible so I will try and keep up with the journey as it happens. This episode covers a major milestone - getting out of...
Just About Sailing April 5 2017 – The Journey, pt 5 Padstow to St Ives
I spent over a week in Padstow. I can recommend this harbour 100%. WHat a lovely friendly place to stay - and loads to do. Anyway, I had to leave at some point. The next leg was to St Ives which is a known place to rest up until the tides are right to g...
Just About Sailing April 4 2017 – The Journey, pt4 Crossing Padstow’s Doom Bar at night
The fourth video in quick succession. Probably best to start from pt1 if you have stumbled on this one first. Doom Bar stretches across the Camel Estuary and must be crossed to get to Padstow Harbour in Cornwall, England. It has a fearsome reputation and...
Just About Sailing April 3 2017 – The Journey, pt 3 Lundy to Padstow (well almost), and Dolphins
It was a shame not to be able to spend more time at Lundy Island - I didn't even manage to go ashore. However the weather for the trip to Padstow (or at least the anchorage just round the corner at Port Quin Bay) looked to be perfect. But things don't al...
Just About Sailing April 2 2017 – The journey continues, pt 2 Oxwich Bay to Lundy Island
Oxwich Bay is lovely. So I spent a couple of days there and even left Serenity anchored on her own for the first time. Then, after wind from the wrong direction on the first leg, I was then forced to do a bit of motor-sailing when the wind dropped complet...
Just About Sailing March 2 2017 – Boat tour of my Mirage 28, Serenity
Second March Video - a couple of days late. I thought I'd do a boat tour and also have a look at my efforts to reduce the power consumption by replacing some more lights with LEDs.
Just About Sailing March 1 2017 – Finances, A few Odd Jobs & Passage Planning
March at last. Nearly feels like Spring. I have now given up work, so sorting out my Finances becomes a very real item on the agenda. There are still (quite) a few things to sort out on Serenity before I set sail. Plus - 'How do I get out of this place' ...
Just About Sailing September 2016 – crawlng around the engine and having a whale of a time
A guided tour around my engine. Have you noticed how proud I am of how accessible it is? Just-in-time replacement of the sacrificial anode. Plus, I couldn't stand the plastic taste of the water any more - so I fitted a filter, and a new tank, and replaced...
Just About Sailing August (plus one) 2016 – Family sailing, genoa trim and harbour fun
My sister came down to visit and joined me and my daughter for a lovely sail. Not quite Swallows and Amazons - but not too far off. Finally got the genoa trimmed properly - thanks for all your helpful comments from July. Plus, of course, Watchet continue...
Just About Sailing August 2016 – Vee Berth mods, daughter visits and Carnival time
Some tips on how not to do boat modifications. Plus, the dreary start to August finally turned into good weather and my daughter visited and managed to get a sail - how seriously she took the whole thing I am not so sure. Plus, small town Carnival fun. ...
Just About Sailing July 2016 – Single handed Tiller Pilot test plus whoops, Port or Starboard?
Finally some decent sailing weather to test out my newly fitted Lazyjacks. And why not try out my recently repaired Tiller Pilot at the same time. All in all a really nice day out. But there's always room for a few mistakes...
Just About Sailing June 2016 – Totally stoked with my awsome lazy jacks
Flaming June at last. Lots of sun, but no wind. Lazy Jacks fitted - a bad workman blames his tools they say. A Summer motor on a calm day round the buoy and back. One wheel better? Just About Sailing. A light-hearted video diary of a sailboat liveaboar...
Just About Sailing May (plus one) 2016 – Liveaboard costs with actual numbers
A liveaboard cost breakdown in pounds and dollars (US). Buying the boat, marina fees and UK regulation costs etc. Plus, friends visit for a sail. And looking forward to a lovely Summer - hopefully. Just About Sailing. A light-hearted video diary of a sail...
Just About Sailing May 2016 – Proper sailing with actual wind where nothing breaks
Replacing the log paddlewheel while Serenity is still in the water. Is that even possible without sinking? Scary. Plus a lovely sail where everything works! Just About Sailing. A light-hearted video diary of a sailboat liveaboard.
Just About Sailing April (plus one) 2016 – Actual sailing footage, curtains and a duck
Well, here is another extra video. Real sailing footage. It wasn't much, but it is so lovely to actually move along under sail power alone with the engine switched off. Oh, I also fitted some curtains and spoke to a duck. Just About Sailing. A light-hear...
Just About Sailing April 2016 – Sails, storm damage and financing my liveaboard dream.
Well Spring is with us and the 'sailing season' starts - or does it? Easter sailing plans with my daughter are spoilt by what (storm) Katie did. But there might be some light at the end of the tunnel - can I actually get out sailing this time? Just Abou...
Just About Sailing March (plus one) 2016 – Beta 20 engine sea trial, quadcopter drone experiments
I have dropped in an extra video for March as I was so excited to actually get out of the harbour. The weather, tides and daylight all lined up and the engine sea-trial sign-off has happened. Without this, I would have voided the warranty had I used the e...
Just About Sailing March 2016 – Liveaboard plans and a Steam Train
Wow March already. A brief summary of my future plans plus some initial thoughts on having become a 'liveaboard'. A walk around the harbour entrance at low tide and some basic maintenance. Oh, and a controversial video camera test - I'm not sure that the ...
#10 After the rescue Part 2 – feeling foolish and embarassed
Second part of my reflections after the events of a couple of nights before. No-one wants to get into a position of helplessness where they need to be rescued out of danger. Big thanks to the RNLI and thoughts on humility. Just About Sailing. A light-hear...
