Down from SYC to the beach cafe at Exmouth. Two very different forecasts - this time the Met Office was right and it was F4 with gusts to the top of F5. Wind was from the NNW so an easy sail with a couple of gybes on the…

Down towards Starcross a couple of times and up to the Turf on a gloriously sunny April afternoon. Lovely F3 to F4 wind. An average speed of 4.5 knots in a 30 year old Wayfarer is none too shoddy

No wind but some thunderstorms. Not the ideal sail on the estuary for Lizs brother.

An up river dinghy cruise from SYC to the Goat Walk. Light winds on the way back. About 15 boats out.

Lovely days paddling. Down and then out along Dawlish Warren a bit. Then around the Pole Sands and the back up with the incoming tide.

A gentle cycle ride into Exeter with Liz. First time on the bike in nearly two weeks due to a winter lurgie that refused to go. Still not 100% right yet! Lutzys was still closed.

In to Exeter and back. Stopped at SYC on the way back.

Down to the beach cafe with Malcolm B. From some wind to no wind (and paddling). When the wind was there it couldn't decide whether it wanted to come from the north or the south!

A windy ride into Exeter and back. Luckily the wind (F5 to F7 on Met Office forecast) was mostly on the side,

A Monday evening sail to the Goat Walk - quite gusty.

To the beach cafe and back. Sunny weather and F2 to F3.

Sccobys second canoe trip. To the Bull Sand and then down to the Warren. First trip out of his depth.

Up river loop via The Turf, the Clyst and Lympstone.

Into Dawlish with Liz to pay a bill and then up to Lutzy's on Exeter Quay. A lovely sunny winter's day with next to no wind. Liz says "bad back and snotty nose" the reason for the slightly low average speed.

Down to the Beach Cafe in the Wayfarer with Malcolm. Quite big tides and quite variable winds. Good sail overall.

Down to Starcross Yacht Club for the annual Starcross Steamer dinghy pursuit race. One hundred boats on the water.

Liz's first time back on the bike at the tail end of a two week lurgy.

Safety boat at SYC. A cold march day - two degrees centrigrade. The windchill factor made it feel like minus four. GPS data anomalies account for the three or four short peaks in speed.

On safety boat duty for the first SYC dinghy cruise event of 2013. Lovely weather and a good wind but not much water on the neap tide. Upriver to the Goat Walk at Topsham.

Bike ride into town to look for a new old car given that our Citroen has just dies with only 77k on the clock.

A lovely June day, bottom of the tide paddle down the estuary with the Canadian canoe and the inflatable kayak. A top picnic lunch and then across the estuary to Lympstone in the inflatable and the Triumph single seater…

Into Exeter and back. Just got bike back from a big service by Jon S. Combination of a freshly serviced bike and not much wind made the moving average a bit better than some other recent rides.

Into work and back. Not much wind which made it a bit easier.

Round to Lympstone and back with Liz. Got rained on at Countess Wear.

A windy ride into Exeter and back, Liz still in post lurgie mode.

A hound walk to to the Turf Pub with Scooby Lizzie and Julian

A light wind sail from Brixham to SYC on the Exe Estuary. Light winds but that was better than the forecast of next to no winds.

An SYC cruiser race from the Exe Safe Water Mark to the entrance of the Dart at Dartmouth. Then up to Dittisham for the night moored up on a visitors buoy. I think I need a new GPS with a bit more memory as the start of…

Lovely sail to just past Topsham Quay. Wind was getting a bit flukey so we didn't go further.
