Stanchion damage
Slipping out
Slipping the mooring today to go sailing, plus a bit of a view of the harbour that I’m moored in. Note, contains swearing when I realise I forgot to ease the topping life (dolt) and when my ancient winches do
Ebbing tide and Dalkey Island
I won’t say becalmed, but most of my speed comes from the ebbing tide in this video.
