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.

Just don't say a word........

We arrived on the hoe at 4pm. The boats came out early and we just caught them in time. They then went out to the eastern end of the breakwater where they stayed for, wait for it five hours! At 9pm I called it a day. At 9.30 they set sail coming nowhere near the hoe.

Why?
A complete lack of wind!!!

Didn't see that one coming at all!
Unbelievable!

A few pic us to follow tomorrow but don't hold your breath
Sorry!
A solitaire du figaro which just didn't live up to the hype but it wasn't their fault.
