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

I rarely post.....

about boats which are non John Welsford, but I came across this video and it is worth watching. Enjoy.

Hi Steve,
Doing allright thank you. Survived Mathew but still feeling effects of that blow.
Boatbuilding has restarted on the Seagull, mostly finishing; fibre, fair and paint. Nice.

Ha. Was thinking about you yesterday and Matthew. Much damage?

Half of our beautiful beaches were washed away. And we were lucky with the storm staying 150km North of us. We still have its swells albeit dampened. The beaches will be grown back. I pray for Haiti, Cuba and Jamaica... It is a monster.

Glad you ok and yes same feeling for other islands. Watching from afar, about to teach tropical storms to GCSE group, it's called topicality but always feel uneasy when looking at real events happening in the moment. On other hand it does raise their awareness about good fortune, where they live on planet etc. glad you are ok
