Arwen's meanderings

Hi everyone and welcome to my dinghy cruising blog about my John Welsford designed 'navigator' named Arwen. Built over three years, Arwen was launched in August 2007. She is a standing lug yawl 14' 6" in length. This blog records our dinghy cruising voyages together around the coastal waters of SW England.
Arwen has an associated YouTube channel so visit www.YouTube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy to find our most recent cruises and click subscribe.
On this blog you will find posts about dinghy cruising locations, accounts of our voyages, maintenance tips and 'How to's' ranging from rigging standing lug sails and building galley boxes to using 'anchor buddies' and creating 'pilotage notes'. I hope you find something that inspires you to get out on the water in your boat. Drop us a comment and happy sailing.
Steve and Arwen

Can you believe it?

It has been heatwave in our area now for a couple of months - heat wave by British standards....our local reservoir is getting quite low and the ground in dry and parched. local Farmers are worried about the quality of the grass - they won't have enough winter silage at this rate. I'm out sailing next week for five days in Salcombe.......and guess what..............rain! Lots of it! Can you believe it?
