| Plymouth Sound with SYC | 2012-09-22 | With SYC on Plymouth Sound out of Mount Batten Sailing Centre. A bit windy for Liz on the Saturday so we went out on the safety boat taking piccies. GPS still on when we landed and went to the cafe - whoops. Sunday was a F7 blow out.

| Safety boat at SYC | 2013-02-17 | Too windy for us to go out sailing as we havent been out for a couple of months. So ended up doing safety boat. Good fun - a little bouncy. Suspect the occasional max speed peaks are GPS data anomalies.

| Solo Wayfarer sail | 2021-08-11 | A couple of boats were needed to sail backwards and forwards across the race finish line to allow the new race finish video system to be fine tuned.
Only time I'll ever be first across the finish line in a dinghy race.
Went across to Lympstone and up to buoy 35 while waiting.

| SYC safety boat | 2018-11-25 | Safety boat crew for James B at SYC. After two weeks in Bangalore in 30 plus degrees of heat, a morning on the Exe Estuary just a few degrees above freezing was a shock to the system.

No wind on the way up. A F3 sea breeze filled in about half way back necessitating a bit more paddling.

| Fishing for anchors at low tide | 2013-06-30 | So in the days racing, the race mark buoy wouldnt stand up straight due to the shallow water. So we removed the weights below the race mark buoy and shortened the lines. We then carefully re-attached the weights to the anchor and slowly fed the weights and anchor back over the side of the boat. At which point we noticed we hadnt re-attached them to the race mark buoy. Whoops! A visit to the GPS marked scene at low tide about 5 hours later and the missing items were recovered. Thanks John!
