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

Final review for tomorrow

Well the wind is picking up but as long as it stays a southerly that will be fine. I guess it will be sensible to reef from the start and heave to where necessary. I could sail most of tomorrow with just mainsail and no mizzen or jib. Alternatively I may be able to sail with just jib.

We will soon find out.

Below are the various weather site predictions. There will be rain that's for sure
