I thought about posting something political, there's lots to talk about, but decided not to. So here is me at anchor a few days ago in the pretty Treshnish Isles in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. Have a great day all x

Teaching RYA Coastal Skipper for Hamble School of Yachting in a largely windless Solent presents some particular challenges but also makes a change from gales. Passes for all students :)

On the island of Terschelling in the Dutch Fresian isles. Always impressed with Netherlands, their culture, their sailing, the way they organise society and great local oysters too.

At Southsea Marina teaching a boat handling course today. Except there isn't sufficient depth in the marina right now so we're getting off to a slow start. We will get there though
