Hartlepool to Gibraltar 2007 in a Bavaria 37 - There had been a safety notice over the radio warning that there were six very large cargo hold lids floating in our area coloured green. Fat chance of spotting them in the dark, just hope we don’t happen to find them with our bow! Read more ...

THE ORKNEY ISLANDS ADVENTURE - The wind increased as the clouds came over us so I put a reef in the main and dropped the mizzen sail; suggesting that Bernie put a reef in AG as well, as it looked like we were in for a good blow. How right I was! ... The storm hit at about 21.00hrs from the north, anyone that knows Eyemouth wouldn't have recognised it Read more ...

A Simple Delivery Cruise Rocyn gets his new yacht Gwylan from Portishead to her new berth in Terneruzen and has a little adventure along the way. As always he copes when ′stuff′ happens but he pulls no punches if the stops along the way are not up to scratch and quite right too! ...

Endeavour Voyage Dick Mc Mahon "I don't think you'd DIE if you fell from the ""futtock"" because the lower part of the shroud would keep you from hitting the deck 75-feet below. What would probably happen is that you'd roll down the lower shroud and FALL INTO THE OCEAN ... then you'd die." Sailtales.co.uk accept no responsibility for the content of other web sites
