  • Round The Island 2009

    I am more than a little bit excited about this weekend – there are nearly 1800 boats signed up to take part and the weather isn’t looking too shabby either! Last year we came 5th out of a class of 60 boats which was a great result for my first time and I had only…

  • My friend makes a living building treehouses..

    This thought amuses me greatly, and yet is also slightly depressing when I’m sat at my desk -Especially when I get an email about his paid trip to Mexico to build a treehouse in the jungle… http://jonnylikestrees.blogspot.com/

  • Ibiza Rocks

    Top week in Ibiza!! Did Manumission at Amnesia and saw Tiesto at Privilege (Claimed to be the worlds biggest club!) – they were both awesome spectacles and we finished the week watching the sunset at Cafe Mambo, which was very cool! Not a cheap week mind, a beer and a bottle of water in Amnesia…

  • Good Times..

    Been quite busy recently, hence no post, but I have mostly been swimming, body boarding, sailing, water skiing, power-boating, out on my motorbike (yep, I bought one – see previous post) or polishing my car (in a 4 day machine-polish extravaganza – it almost looks new!) and now I’m packing for Ibiza – quite excited!!!

  • Round the Island 2008

    We did it, and we came 5th in a class of 65; Sunsail 37’s – which I think was a pretty respectable result! It was my first time on the Isle, my first time racing, my first collision, and later my first time on a boat that had run aground (but thankfully this happened the…

  • Day Skipper.. & racing!

    It was an exhausting week, having set sail for the Helford river on Sunday the 15th at 5pm and then finally docking at 2am on Saturday morning, but I am now a qualified day Skipper! We sailed at night, in fog, in fairly heavy seas, with the wind gusting to force 8 and in pouring…

  • Dolphins & Navigation

    Got back in to Falmouth on Friday after a trip to Fowey; We set sail at 11.30 on Thursday and got in to Fowey for 3.30 in the afternoon. I’ve got to say that Fowey is a really nice, typical Cornish port, and it has some great restaurants too! After spending the night on Wazobia,…
