Just had a great week sailing round Greece with friends. The geeks, despite everything, are possibly the most friendly people I’ve ever met.

Off to see Jo and Liz on board Nimrod tomorrow in Gibraltar. A trip to Ibiza is on the cards, looking forward to it.

New pictures in the Gallery from my Yachtmaster exam week.

So, last night we came back to Hamble after a very intense 24hrs to news from our examiner that 3 of us had Passed!

This despite the fact that weirdly, he hadn’t asked us to do anything we’d practised all week. For me this included sailing onto a pontoon! Scary stuff but dispute having my heart in my mouth I managed to keep a calm exterior and pulled it off inch perfect.

Very pleased with my performance, a good pass!

So today we start our Yachtmaster practical in the Solent in February! It’s a cold frost on deck but the crew is ready and raring to go. By the end of the week I shall be a master of yachts 🙂

So, went for a Canoe on Loche Clunie with a short stop on the man made island in the middle to have a look around the remains of Clunie castle.

Beautiful new years day morning and a great excuse for my first blog post of the year.

Tom was very pleased to have managed to get both his Canoes on the roof of his car!
