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.

A slight delay in proceedings

confused weather forecasts have led me to postponing the trip until tomorrow. Across six different weather sites, some predict gale force winds today, some say 18 knots and a few say 10 knots. As a prudent fellow, I decided to go with all six forecasts which all agree that tomorrow will be winds around 8 knots from the North East. I'm a consensus sorta guy!
So apologies to those expecting some sailing video , reports and pics. And, as always, great thanks to my good friend, who, patiently, as always, managed to accommodate my indecisiveness into his weekend plans.
He is indeed a good and very tolerant friend!

Steve
