I can't believe what I saw on the news Paul...as a geographer I well understand the issues here...thoughts with you all.....I'm genuinely shocked at what I saw
So glad #2 popped up, as I was awaiting your next saga. And joy-of-joys, there's to be a part 3! Isn't retirement the bee's jibsheet?! By the way, here's an item I sent to my former students who asked about my life-after-teaching: "My greatest joy is a quiet nap; my only desire for this life is to see the beauties of the seasons.” ~Kamo no Choumei, 1212". I think we might do just as well by substituting "nap" with "a pottering sail"... Cheers from Japan.
The madness of potterers! Seems ok to me. Sorry to hear you lost the GoPro. It can clearly be seen at 2:28 into the vid on its mounting and gone later, possibly after crossing the choppy wake of that Cruise liner lifeboat at 2:42. See you in P3.
Hey Dale...how u doing? I think I out it down on the side deck somewhere along the journey....the screw as secure in its clamp which means I purposely removed the camera at some stage......age..... memory......easily distracted 🙄🤔😄😥
🤣 how was Norfolk? Recognised lots of your photos. Yep very embarrassingly that was Richard. Having FB with him a few times we have never met and so didn't recognise him and bless him when he did come by to say hello I wasn't too communicative because I was trying to tack and mamma plymouthwelshboy's boy ain't too hot on multitasking 🙄😱😄
@@plymouthwelshboy yes.....really nice and very good for both us thanks. We camped just outside Blakeney - it's a heck of a long way but such a different coast that somehow i'm really attracted to despite being a deep water ocean sailor at heart. The funny part was that I was going to visit Jeckels at Wroxham and completely forgot......Just one job to do and failed on it. It looked nice out in the sound but I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near the kingsand anchorage that day. Penlee point btw is only the very last little rocky bit right at the end. Are you back now or still travellin man ?
Yeah I s Anne's the footage. What I don't understand is how it fell off as when I checked the mount the thumb screw was secure in it but minus the GoPro.....very irritating...it means I took it off, put it down somewhere and forgot to replace it back 🙄
Glad to see you out on the water again and it looked like a beautiful day. Sydney is heading for the wettest year on record, cheers Paul

Retirement is certainly fun 😁
Very nice video! That Navigator sails well. Your ideas about rigging and attachment points for handling lines is interesting also. Kudos.
Thanks. She is a lovely boat to sail
Fabulous! So sorry about the GoPro, that’s terrible luck.
These things happen....serves me right....should pay attention more....🙄
