Looking back at the blog it has been very much neglected since the canoe project and alot has changed since then.
The canoe was successfully launched at the Ashlett Regatta in 2021 but never having been a canoist I'm afraid it wasn't for me. It was an old style design and great for moving fast through the water. Turning round, getting, in, getting out - not for me - like balancing on a razor blade.
So the canoe was quickly donated to Hannah Harwood who is a trained kayaker.
Moving on I have moved house, to Devon and Daislebee will be coming with me from her current home at Ashlett to a new mooring on the Exe estuary at Star Cross Yacht Club - perhap I should re name the blog ?
I am planning on re doing the copper coat antifoul next week so should have some picture of that project and then it is home to the new house for a winter of maintenace so I am ready for the new season.
I don't know about you but this year has been spent in catch up for all those things, holidays, theater trips, concerts etc tat were delayed over the past 2 years - together with moving house, it left little time for sailing - in fact my worst season by far - 5 days afloat - shocking.
Still that will be put right next year with new places to visit and explore so til then - -----
