Hi Rob, cheers for the update. Very jealous! Check out Easedale Island if you're stuck close to the mainland, it's a really quirky spot with a nice anchorage just North. Also, you must try McCloud and McCloud black pudding on Lewis. Not James McCloud's black pudding which is great but not as great. ...

Cheers Rob. Looks like you've been very busy indeed! Great stuff!

I don't have the article in electronic form unfortunately. It was in the November issue. Five whole pages of it! Just covers our round UK really, not the Towser years.

Living aboard in UK marinas is frowned upon by some marinas. Some turn a blind eye. Some actively encourage it. We were last living in Marinas some time ago so my list below might well have changed but here's some to consider: * Falmouth * Sutton Harbour - brilliant place to live aboard. Very shelte...

Hi Rob! Great to hear from you! Where's that link to your blog, I lost it. Did you keep the blog running for the year (I'll check when I get the link). Did you see the article on us in Yachting Monthly? Made us sound like right amateurs hehe. I've become a volunteer firefighter now which gives me li...

I guess a lot of people wanted to see the less than once in a lifetime waterfall over the cove.

Ooh. You picked the right time to go to Malham. That waterfall hasn't been a warterfall (I believe) in centuries. Why did you choose not to film Malham Cove itself? I'd have thought that would be the jewell in the crown for that location? And like the waterfall you shot, it also was flowing for the ...

I know where there are some fantastic cliffs. But they're a long way from Luton! How far are you willing to travel for the right shot? North Wales has loads of stunning options including: dinas cromlech. It's a short scramble from the car and on good weather days will have climbers on it doing their...

I'd have loved that! Sold my boat now though :(

I'm sure you'll get some takers!

Have you got any footage on YouTube or Vimeo or something you can link to?

I've no time spare unfortunately at the moment, but that would have been fab. I don't know much about Jeanneau, Beneteau, Dufour except on inspection they seem a bit 'thin' and wobbly - and don't they use more sandwich construction as opposed to good old fashioned solid resin? Westerly Tempest was e...

Good work Marc, I'm very jealous. I am boatless, clubless and free-time-less.

Have you had more thoughts on what you might buy, now you've got a bit more experience?

TIP: Fill bucket or sink with warm water, then with soap and a cloth, wash yourself.
