The Hobie Mirage Revolution 16 Kayak

Yes I am now the proud owner of a Hobie Mirage Revolution 16 Kayak. Unfortunately just in time for winter, but I am sure that is not going to stop me getting out there. Much much more to follow.....

Dinghy Sailing Capsize - Bad Day

Sometimes we all have bad days. When I look back, this was a particularly bad one. I had just started sailing single-handed and had upgraded to 'pointier' faster boat from the Topper Xenon to the RS Vareo. 

You learn a lot more about sailing single-handed on a smaller boat. This particular day I learned about what the kicker was for. Actually this was only after I had come in.


RS Vareo, Wivenhoe to Brightlingsea

So I did end up with an RS Vareo, Here I am sailing from Wivenhoe to Brightlingsea and back. See if you can sit through the voyage!
