Found this guy in my garage this afternoon. I thought about kissing him but I live in Norfolk so I was worried he might turn into Prince Andrew

In true fairy story fashion the man formerly known as Prince Andrew is being banished to a barren and distant part of the kingdom called …? What? That’s where we live 🤔

Last sail of the year on Blue Dawn, shortly after these photos were taken the sails were off and all being well this time next week she’ll be on dry land

Motherfucking wind farms…

Back at it today, a solo sail in Holkham Bay, v windy, gusts averaging 25 knots

Tollesbury- not bad 😉

So our dogs have different opinions on whether sailing is for them

So Essex is quite the place in the sunshine, exploring today, back to sailing tomorrow. Currently in Bradwell Marina

Sailed past this yesterday, they were pulling him off the dock, carefully does it

Us heading up the Deben last night, sailed from Shotley to Woodbridge - timing was critical as we had to arrive in town before last orders (it was Friday night and rules are rules), managed it just … Picture by Richard Whitelock on SV Magic Fly With @cerit1 and two happy whippets

That’s me sailing off the coast at Orford on Sunday - a bumpy sea - now cruising smoother waters in the River Orwell

My wife carving up the opposition again 😂

Me trying to catch my wife in her boat this morning- well dear reader…. I didn’t manage it, mine is a peaceful relaxing kind of boat and her’s a speed machine

Monday mornings

Heading out for a couple of hours sailing at sea this morning - from Wells next the sea obviously

Out at sea alone all day yesterday, light breezes, sunshine and Lou Reed

A little sail for a Monday morning, off North Norfolk

Monday morning sunrise sail - Wells to the Brancaster Roads and back - good breeze, flat sea = not bad 😁⚓️⛵️

Rolling home

And so at last the summer sailing season begins, out sailing Blue Dawn in Holkham Bay with Ceri

Blue Dawn is back afloat again, ready for a summer afloat

Sunset after my late afternoon sail in Wells Harbour today

A fine day for a bit of rigging

Heading back to Wells Quay, wing on wing this afternoon

Had a light wind sail / drift around Wells Harbour this morning, ended up sat on a buoy waiting for wind - a beautiful start to the day

Dogs are relaxing again. It’s getting to be a habit

Anti foul on - one step closer to summer 😁

Sailing in the sunshine, Sunday afternoon in Wells Harbour

Been polishing the boat today, looking forward to a summer afloat #wellsnextthesea

Thawing out after a cold day

The sounds of North Norfolk- geese and military jets - such an iconic combination

Our Christmas decorations still doing their thing 🌲🎄

Playing my son (and my dog, who was quietly giving tips, not all of them helpful)

Sunset in Wells this afternoon- no filter needed

Been a while since I posted here so hello again- happy Christmas from Wells next the sea

This London place (big city at the other end of the M11, you should visit) is quite pretty at this time of year

Here in wells the snow showed up but didn’t settle so the sunset put on a show instead - this is from the path at the back of the woods

Norwich today - if you’ve never been, you should

Who said Norfolk doesn’t have hills? Out and about this morning with @nevaskip.bsky.social

And this is playtime - with @nevaskip.bsky.social This photo was taken by our friend Neil Foster (who isn’t on here yet)

Selfie to say hello

Curious to see who is on here so hello.. meanwhile this is from my sail in Wells Harbour yesterday afternoon
