BLUEMOMENT

Seems such a waste of a pretty looking small/wee boat. Probably an equally sad tale to go with her condition and demise. When things all went tits up, a few years back, i contemplated giving my craft away to someone who could 1) use it 2)lavish care on her. It turned out to be a legal nightmare, and...

Damn, when mine arrived i was hoping to use it as a trysail going round Ushant.

Better await the post Morten before rigging it

As explained above keeping pics until clear that skipper doesn`t get grief

The next installment: The morning brought blue skies and a loverly NE breeze so we decided upon 1 hour watches until later and suck and see after the previous days excitement, clearing up the mess and general duties resumed and along she flew main and genny SOG of 7/8knots in around 14knots of wind....

Here I go again! With the sum total of 4 hours sleep, Skipper dragged me to lunch, still feeling the night before and generally knackered with the constant battering and anxiety of the night before. We checked the type serial number and availability of new primary fuel filter and on chandlers asked ...

Hey i am writing it off line and trying to do work at the same time, who said us guys couldn`t multi task an on a azerty keyboard

We settled into a good rhythm on a watch system going and cleared the ras de Seine entrance buoy and basically headed 235 degrees towards Spain, giving us the option of La Corunna or bypassing straight to Camarinaze Marina Spanish town Muros. We motored for approx 10 hours with the main on its first...

Well, the story begins ! I was sat on my venerable, and slowly being bought back up to scratch, Macwester 28 in my home berth at Port du Plaisance Treguier. After finally having enough Gordon`s Britain and moved aboard permanently, when out of the river appears a large blue yacht heading straight ac...

Well give me an hour or so, hell of a trip will add a few photos later

If any of you`s would be interested it was an eventful trip and could do a longer write up, with pics, if i can work that damn flickr site.

Could you respond if interested

Cheers Mike

We now need a competition of the furtherest flung flying of the Blue Moment Burgee.

Mine will be flown within 2 weeks in Brittany, and if i remember to take the camera a picture posted

Very good quality flag, many thanks.

Then make sure you call in at Treguier, for a while, i shall still be refitting to go in mid may. But then there is always the curse of Brittany where life slows to a pace that without a deadline nought gets done apart from rest and recouperation :) Then meandering round to Gulf du Moribahn, Quibero...

Sounds very nearly exactly what i am looking for, and knowing France well not too much will have changed. I am taking 2 13 1/2 twin girls, and a 19 year old with his own totty, therefore should be enough to cater for all, the area struck me a good one for the "inland" sailing as don't want...

"Maybe we should do some more of that warm Winter cruising stuff before we fade completely . . . maybe take FW down to Lagos the end of next season ready for the Med in 2010. Anyone else fancy it?" Yes definitely Will be in or around Gulf du Moribhan until end of August then heading to Bor...
