Just About Sailing May 2019 – Going backwards in order to move forwards
Just occasionally you need to take a step backwards and slow things down in order to get where you want faster. No, I know that doesn't make any sense - I guess you'll just have to watch the video. Check out Sail Life here https://www.youtube.com/user/mad...
Just About Sailing January 2019 – So what happened in the second half of 2018 then?

Just About Sailing May 2018 – Rudder repair review, Projects to get Serenity back in the water
A bit wordy this one; sorry about that. But I wanted to get in a 'review and plans' video before I start the windows (Portlights) - I am really excited about that particular project. Hopefully there will be a windows video towards the end of May. Have a...

Just About Sailing May 7 2017 – The Journey pt 13, Finale, Dover to Ramsgate and then lift out
All good things come to an end. This is the final part of the journey from Watchet in Somerset to Faversham in Kent. It was a wonderful extended slow (7 week, 550 mile) shakedown cruise. So now onto the next phase - getting Serenity ready for the Mediterra...
Just About Sailing May 6 2017 – The Journey pt 12, Eastbourne to Dover sailing all the way
When the tide ebbs one side of Dungeness, the stream sets in one direction. When the tide floods on the other side of Dungeness, the stream sets in the same direction. No, I don't understand it either. The effect of this is to give me a lovely 10 hours o...
