About Me

- A welshman displaced to wonderful Plymouth in SW England; a novice sailor, motorhomer, astronomer and boat builder with a passion for all things to do with the sea and the skies above. Follow my journey as I learn to sail Arwen, grappling with charts, tide tables and passage planning so that I can become 'a dinghy cruiser' Follow my learning journey as I take up astronomy and astrophotography. Or you can come join us on our motorhome adventures across Europe. Subscribe on any of our blogs: Arwen's Meanderings (PlymouthWelshBoy), UnderSouthWestSkies (PlymouthAstroBoy) or Wherenexthun and at www.youtube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy for videos about dinghy cruising. I look forward to hearing your comments, tips and thoughts.

The guy in the 5th photo down reminds me of the sailor in the old British Seagull ads! hahah! Just swap his bag for a Seagull and add a duffel bag on his right shoulder.
Looks like a much larger version of our Port Townsend festival.
Wish I lived in the UK. First the America's cup races, the diamond jubilee, the olympics, this huge classic boat rally. I'm green with envy!
The plymouth classic is a small rally!! We have bigger; the fowey and falmouth festivals attract some real big entries.
yep since september its been pretty special I must admit.
