Here is all my accumulated experience of watching & making sailing videos on RUclips, in 3 minutes. I hope it's helpful.

I head up Salcott Creek on the north side of the River Blackwater, going past West Mersea. And I briefly go aground again.

Came across some striking colours of the sky and water, sailing on the River Blackwater - going past Stone & Ramsey Island. (Yes, it really looked like this - I didn't add any fancy filters).

I decided to see how I would cope with a fairly gusty wind (in my 20' Norfolk Gypsy), and some choppy waves sent me scuttling straight back to the marina.

I sail out to the Gunfleet wind farm in my 20' Norfolk Gypsy, and have an unexpected encounter with "the world's last seagoing paddle steamer" (built in 1946).

Two years ago I bought a 20' Norfolk Gypsy (24' including the bowsprit). As I'd only sailed dinghies before, it felt pretty big to me. Here are the main things I've had to get used to, moving up from a dinghy to a bigger boat. 00:00 Intro 01:50 Everything is bigger and heavier 06:10 Mooring or marina? 10:21 Docking & mooring 15:33 Transporting, launching & retrieving 18:20 Navigation & planning...
