Fantastic thanks to Paul for his time and trouble loading enough music onto our iPod to ensure that night watches will pass far too quickly. We now have a fabulous selection including the incomparable 'Bielefeld Playlist'.

Not only have we managed to change the running rigging, sort out the medicines,secure the medicine cabinet and fix a shower curtain, we've also been able to give Jane a bed and meals for the last couple of days. The next major task is to work out what food to store where and how much […]
Wow, two consecutive days of sunshine and we have actually been able to christen the BBQ. Had we realised that we really would have sunshine we might have been slightly more adventurous than sausages and home-made burgers .... but they tasted delicious which was the main thing! We also used the sunshine to add the […]
As you will see from the photo, it's not wise to have your guard rails covered in plastic! There was no indication that the wire had rusted through to this extent so we were really relieved to have replaced them. We also fitted the replacement dodgers. Let's hope these are robust!
Positively the last time that we are going to have a night out of the water in Portishead prior to our travels. We had a lift out overnight to replace a jamming seacock, replace the sacrificial anodes and slap on another coat of anti-fouling! James took the opportunity to clean up the propellor as […]
What a great afternoon. It was lovely to see everyone and fun to show off our home! The classic question of the day has to have come from one small person who asked 'where's the dishwasher?' - he was not impressed when I pointed to myself! Many thanks to you all for coming along […]
Thanks to Andrew (Bruce), Katie, Nick and Dickie (all ex Bristol Uni OTC) for such a fun day's sailing in the Cappuccino Channel enjoying the Avonmouth Riviera. Around Denny, into the mouth of the Avon (avoiding ships moving between Portbury and Avonmouth!) up and under the bridge to Wales and a brief glimpse of […]
Rachel arrived on board with a totally splendid Celebration Cake (a much better sounding name than the recipe which said Rhubarb, Cardamom and Ginger Cake!) but Steve stole the show with his hand crafted organic hemp and sweet smelling Ocean Knot! The Ocean Knot will travel with Ocean Rainbow for her adventures ... sadly […]
Lovely to have Rachel and Steve from Stardust on board for a final sail before we set off on our travels. We were lucky with the weather and had a great trip to St Pierre Pill but sadly neaps prevented us stopping long enough to have our lunch actually moored alongside the pontoon. Still, […]
This is what we saw when the liferaft was opened up in February ..... Finally, after a very long delay waiting for spare parts from Italy and then the repair of pressure testing kit at Ocean Safety, we have our fully serviced liferaft back in place. Thanks to Steve for […]
