Home and Together again

It's been a long three months and we missed the dogs dreadfully. Robyn, Ethan and Josh, between them, did a marvellous job of looking after the house and dogs which meant we did not need to worry about them......thanks guys!

Coming home

We were so excited to get into the lock at Shotley, our home port. Our adventure almost over. This photo was taken by Dad.

Leg 38 Ramsgate to Shotley, finally home!

So, at 1430 yesterday afternoon we make it into the lock at Shotley to a very noisy reception as the lock keeper let off the siren to signal our arrival, fantastic! My Mum and Dad surprised us by being at the lock to greet us, perfect, as did Brian, our Day Skipper Instructor, and his wife Ann. I had [...]

Leg 37 Eastbourne to Dover which turned out to be Ramsgate!

Sunday 27th August and yet another glorious day. Steve and Hailey had left at 6am to go south back to Cowes. We left the berth at 7.30am to enter the Eastbourne lock at 8am. It was busy. We were in the lock with 9 other boat!

Leg 36 Brighton to Eastbourne

Got up early leaving the boys in bed to nip to the supermarket to stock up on provisions. After a bacon butty breakfast, we said goodbye to Josh at the bus stop; he was heading back to Norwich on the train. We would have loved to have him with us for longer but we're grateful he had made the effort [...]

Leg 35 Portsmouth to Brighton

We woke up at 5.30am to the most beautiful sunshine over Portsmouth. It was going to be a lovely day. With Josh on board, it was lovely to have his company and with a very slight sea it was the perfect trip. Before we left the harbour we took one last trip past the Queen Elizabeth. Leaving the harbour, [...]

Our day in Padstow

14 August 2017 | Padstow
Our 14 hour sail yesterday had pretty much wiped us out but we had people to see and Padstow to experience.
After a much needed nights sleep and a shower, we met Neil, Helen, Oliver and their jack Russell, Buster for a cooked breakfast in the town. Ray met Neil on a sailing trip last year and they both work for South West Ambulance Trust. They hit it off and having kept in touch ever since, it was a great opportunity to meet up again with all the family. By lunch time, we had also been joined by Kevin and Diane, who had travelled all the way from Dawlish to see us. We walked to a beautiful spot overlooking the Padstow estuary then enjoyed a Cornish cream tea, proper light scone with fresh cream and jam, lovely! Finally, we met up with Mike and Louise for fish and chips from "Chip Ahoy", not Rick Stein, too expensive! Another amazing day! Photo with Kevin and Diane overlooking the Padstow Estuary.
