A trip up river to the Goat Walk before the weekend gales came in
Up river to the buoy 24 and back on a fine Spring day with about a F4 sea breeze
A quick evening sail as the winds dropped away on a Wednesday evening
An up river dinghy cruise from SYC to the Goat Walk. Light winds on the way back. About 15 boats out.
Some gusts but mostly lulls on short Wayfarer sail
Only the 2nd dinghy sail of the year. Up river as far as the Turf in a nice gentle breeze
A lovely evening's sail up to the Goat Walk at Topsham. Sun and a decent wind (which only died as the last couple of boats arrived back). We had a brief detour a little way down the Clyst taking advantage of the high tid…
Second sail of the season up the Exe as far as Topsham Quay (where the winds got a little too light and fickle to go much further). A high tide sail so straight over "Greenland" on the way up.
From Cockwood Harbour to SYC and then on to the Turf, Then back again via Bull Hill Bank so Scooby could have a bit of a run about.
A paddle against the wind and the tide towards the Turf. I would claim we had a reason for such foolery! Much quicker on the way back. Scooby's first canoe session of 2014.
A very pleasant up river sail as far as Topsham Sailing Club. Between F2 and F4 in the estuary but died away to very little when going up the estuary. With the tide having turned, we didn't get much furtehr than TSC.
A lovely sunny day. Wayfarer sail up river and then up river again. Winds got a bit light going up the Exe towards Topsham and the Clyst so just sailed round and round.
An upriver dinghy cruise to start the 2015 season of SYC organised dinghy cruises. Pleasant wind - maybe F3
From the small Sunny Corner Quay on the edge of Truro round to the Tresillian River on the Fal Estuary. Not too far today as there was a keen wind to be paddled against on the way back down the Tresillian.
A lovely down river cruise safety boat duty. A couple of potential problems so a couple of very short periods when we needed to go a little faster than usual to make sure we were back with the dinghies before they went r…
<p>From Wooton Creek, past Cowes and Fawley and into the Beaulieu River.</p><p> We left Wooton Creek and sailed across the Solent to the Beaulieu River. We motored up the river past Bucklers Hard and towards the top of t…

Put the kayak in at Bantham back beach and then paddled up river to a few hundred yards past the bridge at Aveton Gifford. At AG pretty much at high tide (on a neap tide) - wouldn't want to miss the timings by more than…
Camper vanning in West Parley for a meet up with old school friends. Went for a walk down Church Lane past the Multiple Sclerosis day centre and then on to the River Stour. Lots of Whiteley family memories / connections.
Off the Lerwick to Aberdeen ferry at 07:00 and along to the river Dee to Potarch Bridge to meet one of Liz's childhood friends. Arrived a couple of hours early so went for a short stomp around the local woods. Met Claire…
You'd think after 5 weeks in Orkney and Shetland we'd have had enough "seal spotting" but a stop off at Newburgh Seal Beach proved otherwise. Hundreds of them hauled out on the beach for a rest at the entrance to the Riv…
One of the many SYC to beach cafe sails swinging around a low tide.
Down to the beach cafe and then up the estuary a little bit waiting for some tide so we didnt have to pull th eboat up through too much mud
With the first spell of decent weather this summer the dinghy cruise down to the Beach Cafe and back had an excellent F3 southerly sea breeze and lots of sunshine. Marvellous. All the best photos courtesy of Lizs brothe…
A great Monday evening sail. The tail end of a F3 sea breeze and a strong incoming Spring tide. The average speed over the ground may not win any prizes but a cracking sail down past the floating cafe and through the moo…
To the beach cafe and back. Sunny weather and F2 to F3.
Down to the beach cafe and back. Very light winds most of the time but the sun was shining.
