NEW SAILS, BUT WILL THEY FIT
We treated ourselves to another dinghy. This time its a 59er, but it needs new sails which we cant buy that easily so we try something different Whats a 59er I hear you ask, why cant you just buy new sails and what did we get instead. All questions that will be answered in this film, but in short, ...
SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO MOTOR
We make these films just for fun, and we hope that you have enjoyed watching them however we have been asked on a couple of occasions now if we have a Patreon account. We don’t want to do that at this stage as we feel it would turn the channel into a business, and as we said at the beginning, this i...
NO ONE GETS IN HERE WITHOUT GOING AGROUND
So while thats not strictly true, if you are visiting for the first time and dont have anyone to follow then there is a very good chance you will. The place in question is Swale Marina, which is dug out of the ground at the end of Conyer creek. And although I'm not really selling it with the d...
Ep 243 | Waiting for Wind at Dunk Island, Sailing Nutshell, Australia
With no engine we are slaves to the wind, or lack of it! We end up waiting at Dunk Island for quite a while until the wind finally picks up… a little. We check out the island and do the walk to the lookout, which is well worth it. We are surrounded by war history. Finally we get a few knots of win...
RACING A SQUIB
This week its more small keel boat racing. We join in with the Medway Yacht Club squib fleet and race 4, of their autumn series. We missed race one, competed in race 2, as your would have seen last week if your a regular viewer. Then race 3 was blown out with winds of over 40 knots and then by compl...

Well this week we show you what we did with it and take you on board for its first race We make these films just for fun, and we hope that you have enjoyed watching them however we have been asked on a c...
WHEN ITS TO STRONG TO LEAVE, BUT YOU GO ANY WAY!
Its not quite as bad as it sounds but if we didn't have to leave, we wouldn't have. The wind had been blowing over 20 for the last 4 days, and from the south west, the direction we had to travel in. Today it was still blowing over 20 but had switched around to a true west. Far from ideal b...
SO MUCH FOR DESERTED
So this week we leave the River Deban and head over to Titchmarsh marina in the Walton backwaters. The weather wasn't much cop and we had to motor the whole way but had a lot of fun once we arrived. We make these films just for fun, and we hope that you have enjoyed watching them however we ha...
ITS NOT SCARY REALLY
So this week we make the short journey along the coast from the river Orwell and into the river Deban. Its a pretty straightforward trip apart from one thing. The Deban is surrounded by large sandbars that are constantly moving and it always seems to get our blood pumping. This is the short documen...
THE CAMERA DOESNT DO IT JUSTICE
Man did it rain, and we only took the camera out for a brief period after the worst had happened so you really wont get to see just how much! Any way this week we leave Fambridge on the River Crouch, have a brief stop at Burnham and then head off further north to the River Orwell, were it rained, a...
YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT to entertain our daughter
So if you watched last weeks episode you will know that we made the river Crouch our first port of call as the weather forecast didn't look to clever. And we were right, it was intermittent miserable with short periods of hopeful. So this week, rather than head out to sea we head further up riv...
HOW MANY BIG SHIPS!
Ok so its not that dramatic but on the first day of this years Foxwell Family sailing holiday we did come across an awful lot of large shipping when crossing the Thames estuary. We make these films just for fun, and we hope that you have enjoyed watching them however we have been asked on a couple ...
OUR NEW PROJECT BOAT can you guess what it is!
Ok so we'll make it easy for you. Its a Squib. A small, two person, racing keel boat which may not look that special but they are really sweet little boats. So with a growing fleet on the river Medway we have brought an old boat to do up so that we can join in with the fun. We make these films...
INFLATABLE DINGHY REPAIR 4 YEARS ON and what they dont tell you about the glue!
It was a miserable day, and while I was sorting things out at home I realised that it had been four years since I fixed the inflatable, and that some of you might be interested in how it worked out. This then reminded me of another repair that we made and the thing that we learnt about the glue. If ...
A SUNNY BANK HOLIDAY SAIL TO ESSEX
Not much to say really. It was a sunny bank holiday weekend, which almost never happens, so we wanted to make use of it and go for a sail. We have friends in Burnham who we haven't seen for almost 3 years and another friend who had just bought a Moody 29 in Burnham and who wouldn't mind ha...
NEW SAILS AND NEW RIGGING, this is what we have been doing
So when Daphy first came out of the water we got busy and did loads of the things that were on our to do list. Such as replacing the standing rigging, servicing the running rigging, fix the water leak on the calorifier, replace the hoses on the head ordering new sails and so on. Then of course COVID...
BIKES AND BOATS doesn’t get much better than this
Its that time of year when the weather turns cold wet and miserable which means its also the time to get Daphy out of the water. Its a chance to dry her out, do some of that boat maintenance stuff that always needs doing and as being on the hard at MYC is much safer than bobbing around in the Medway...

SAILING SINGLE HANDED. Tacking a boat with a large genoa!
So this week Ian gets a chance to just go for a sail, on his own, just for the fun of it. There wasn't much wind, although there was enough and it gave him a chance to figure out how to tack that big genoa on his own, even with the inconvenience of a wheel for steering! If you would like to le...

WHAT WE THINK OF OUR JEANNEAU SUN ODYSSEY 34.2
Although we have owned Daphi for around 6 months now, with the restrictions that were imposed by the government because of the Covid 19 pandemic, we haven't actually had that much of a chance to use her. But we have been able to spend a few weekends on board, plus a short cruise up the east coa...
SAILING FROM BURNHAM BACK TO THE MEDWAY – 2020 CRUISE DAY 7
After such a glorious first week the following week was looking much worse, with thunderstorms and strong winds forecast. So with this in mind we decided to cut the cruise short, head home and maybe spend some time out and about on the Medway when the weather allowed. If you would like to leave a c...
