Website Facilities
This website was last updated on 1st November 2003. Please accept my apologies for not updating sooner but we had problems with finding suitable internet facilities whilst away in France this summer and since coming back have had a computer problem. Anyway, why not put it in "favourites" and check it every now and then? It is intended to provide visitors with a variety of, hopefully, fun, interesting and useful up-to-date information on all aspects of cruising that we come into contact with.

Swinging the Lamp
We've undergone a steep learning curve when it comes to sailing! Some of these experiences have been romantic, others amusing and yet other educational (a euphemism for a dry mouth!) For stories about our sailing activities and education, click here.
