Spinnaker

Never managed to use one single-handed so I hope this isn't a waste of money but I have acquired a used spinnaker.

Mini Jester meet up

I met up with Glenn in N Wales whilst I was working there recently. Great to meet him, he finished JBC 2017 and then set off from Baltimore to N. Spain, Azores and back to N. Wales. He was away for 4 1/2 months which makes my 5 weeks look a bit trivial. We both want to get back to the Azores and are aiming for 2020. He has a similar philosophy, work is about earning enough to go sailing for as long as possible. He is much more hard core though.

Progress

Lee clothes and self steering are well under way. See 'Current Activity' page.

What is it all about?

This blog is my account of a sailor of modest ability who has a desire to sail single-handed to the Azores and back. The budget is tight and ingenuity will have to be plentiful to overcome the many problems that I am expecting.
