Sit right back and hear this tale…
A tale of a faithful trip…

Too bad Ginger or MaryAnn couldn’t join us.


Today I joined my work mate Paul for a day’s sail on his 29 ft. yacht. We left from near Portsmouth and sailed across to the Isle of Wight.

The weather didn’t cooperate ALL that much and it was a lot of work, BUT it was worth it. After fighting the morning tides and westerly winds (learning how to “tack” the boat) we spent the afternoon “recovering” with a nice pub lunch sampling a local ale that was worth the trip.


These pictures aren’t of Paul’s boat, but were taken from it during our sail.

And yes… that IS a gent climbing UP his mast while on the water.
