| Exe Estuary dawdle | 2013-05-12 | Not quite the F4 gusting F5 that was forecast. That and the fact we managed to get the furling line wrapped round the head sail furling drum means that we didnt go very far.

| Super summer sail | 2013-05-18 | A lovely sail up to the Goat Walk at Topsham. We had planned to go as far as the motorway bridge but the wind didnt have the west in it that the forecast said it would. Met Malcolm and Graham at the Goat Walk. The max speed of 6.9 knots isnt bad given that there was no tide to speak of.

| Up river cruise - safety boat duty | 2021-09-04 | Safety boat duty for a very enjoyable up river dinghy cruise from SYC.
Thought there was a pretty good chance the wind would drop and we'd be towing lots of people home.
The wind mostly held so so good day out!

| SYC safety boat | 2022-06-04 | Forecast of F4 gusting F6 and heavy rain meant that we turned the dinghy cruise into a sail around the club.
But then there was actually very little wind and no real rain.
Can't win sometimes.
