A little sailing

Vicki was away with family over Easter, I stayed home because I had to work some of the time. On Easter Friday I had to get out early to load some gear aboard Elektra before the tide was to low. After this back home, I had bought a new dinghy and I set about pumpingContinue reading “A little sailing”

Summing up for 2021 season

We had managed to get Elektra launched early (last day of March) but the lockdown wasn’t lifted properly until the 12 April so only had 2 day sails before then.

Afternoon sailing

Saturday 16th October After a cold night (we were warm enough in the forebunk) the temperture came up again though the morning and the wind filled in.

Sailing alone again

Thursday 7th October I managed to find the time for an afternoon sail but Vicki couldnt come out so I went out on my own, just for 2hrs, sailing was slow but I enjoyed it anyway, when I got back to the mooring Elektra had only logged 5.5nm.
