I've discussed life lines before. Now here is one which is simple and effective I think! I may add this to the winter list of things to do!

About Me

- A welshman displaced to wonderful Plymouth in SW England; a novice sailor, motorhomer and boat builder with a passion for all things to do with the sea. 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' And by the way, just occasionally, little snippets about our travels and adventures. Subscribe on this blog and at www.youtube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy for videos about dinghy cruising. I look forward to hearing your comments, tips and thoughts.

Steve,
Thanks for another great year of entertaining and informative posts. My Navigator build is all but complete, just waiting on the sails now so all set for a spring launch. Just putting her to bed for the winter while I fiddle with rigging in the shed. The kids have named her but it's all hush until the official wetting of the hull. Hope to see you in the sound when the season starts.

I look forward to sailing with you at some stage in the sound or down at fowey. Let me know when you want to go for a sail. Two navigators together will make an impressive show in the sound. Contact me via the blog and when you have launched her , I would be honoured to announce her arrival here if you don't have a blog of your own. Another navigator just down the road........awesome, truly awesome.
Steve
