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

Great video - I'm guessing this is somewhere in Australia, although at first I thought it might be Sweden?

I was going with Sweden myself,

Joel your comment seems to have disappeared into ether but yes " that made me pucker" is a really good way of summing it up. Can't decide whether it's brave, stupid, skilful, irresponsible or the whole lot. I'm going with "ballsy" ......very!!

Re. my previous point about what I think makes a good video - this is a case in point... 10 and a half minutes of bow shot, interspersed with laughing skipper, and godawful music soundtrack - clearly he was having fun, but not sure I see the point of the vid!? :o)
