Off again

So!! I really need to get back into this don't I? The final few days in Whitby passed in a bit of a blur for me really. I needed to get so much done from preparing the boat to making sure I saw as much as I could of friends and family. Being put back into the water was such a relief, I hadn't realis...

January 2011

Clearly I am not keeping on top of this blog lark! The last few months have been rather different. A week or so before the wedding we finally had Isabella taken out of the water and parked her in the boatyard which has been our home for the last few months. It certainly feels like a less romantic li...

The final push to Whitby

Lowestoft to Scarborough and Finally Whitby. Sometimes I surprise myself. After the decision had been made to attempt most of the final leg in one 33 hour trip, our longest by far, including 2 nights at sea, I expected to be terrified. In actual fact I wasn't. Nervous, yes. Apprehensive, certainly, ...

The final few weeks

From Queensborough we sailed to the river Colne and spent some time anchored off Mersea Stone, some moored at Brightlingsea and a night ancored up Pyefleet Creek. What can I recall of this time? Well the weather was greyish. It rained. All in all I felt a bit in limbo. Gone was the excitement of Lon...

Oh how could I forget?! The sail from Queensborough to Brightlingsea (where we are now anchored) shall be hence forth know as the day of the porpoises! Three of them in one day arcing out of the waves. I have never seen any before. I didn't quite know what to do. I think I let out a squeak in the en...

Thursday 12th August

Where are we? Its been four days since we locked out of St Katherine Dock. Our stay there was so busy that the weeks seemed to fly by. So much so that it already seems like a long time ago. We had Jeff's parents staying with us for the last few days which was really nice and they were able to leave ...

Thursday 29th July

I think its time to write about Brighton before it becomes a distant memory. On June 20th we set off from Littlehampton before dawn even had a chance to think about cracking. On Jeff's watch he fished and on mine I raced a German yacht. I am not sure the German's knew they were in a race but the spe...

9th July 2010

Ok so I didn't make it back quite as soon as I had intended! I seriously don't know where the time goes some weeks. It is my triplet brothers' 26th birthday(s)!! Today the sun is shining down but on the day before their birth in 1984 I seem to recall that York Minster was ablaze with flames. An omen...

Finally June 17th 2010

Well it seems that I haven't made a post here for a little while. About 2 months actually! Tsk These days I am mostly living in the 1950's and so my internet access is rather limited. As we are avoiding marinas as much as possible and as Jeff is a little bit "odd" when it comes to running ...

3rd April 2010

Easter weekend has arrived and Spring is finally here with the traditional onset of torrential rain, I mean "April showers!" Last week saw us return from our trip out to Jersey. We flew from Plymouth and were met at the airport by Mally, Jeff's school mate and best man at our wedding. He a...

16th March 2010

Ok so wow! Breathe in and out. Repeat. Just looked at the date on my watch. It is the 16th of March. The first thing to jump into my head was the realisation that the wedding is exactly 7 months away! Jimminey cricket! The small flock of butterflies that suddenly appeared in my tummy along with this...

15th February 2010

Well we have just got back from another weekend away so thought I would do another post as it has been ages since my last one! 2010 has arrived and so far it looks like it will be a year full of sailing. We have already managed several weekends away and I am becoming used to having the sea pretty mu...

4th Dec 2009 - Onset of winter + Beginning of Day Skipper

So a month into our time in Plymouth city centre and what has been happening? Well I still love it here. I am such a country girl at heart but as we are only here for 5 or so months I have not really been missing the open spaces too much and have instead be making the most of and taking advantage of...

2nd Nov 2009 - Moving

So an update. A new record. The last few weeks have been manic, actual rushing around like headless chickens madness. So where to begin? We spent days back at the flat sorting through all our worldly possessions and I am still amazed at the Mary Poppin's bag/tardis like qualities our attic seems to ...
