    DMYC September Series 2013

    The September Series is an annual set of races run by the DMYC. Some years I race, other years I’m the RO, and yet other years I’m in a RIB with a camera. This year, I was in a RIB.

    Greystones and back

    ย  The GPS logger was turned on for the trip to Greystones and back, and after a bit of searching I found http://mygpsfiles.com/app/. It ingests the GPX file from my logger, and can animate the resulting course, complete with the speed in knots.

  • Slipping out

    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 what they reliably do – cause riding turns.

    Ebbing tide and Dalkey Island

    I won’t say becalmed, but most of my speed comes from the ebbing tide in this video.
