Tales from the Sea!: October 2007

Tales from the Sea! Monday, October 01, 2007. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF TIMONEER! The guests arrived with the Mate, and we were off again before lunch, this time to Ville Franch. The Mate had to bring the car around, so it was just Engineer and I again. Anchoring was all ok but the wind built, and made the tender launch off the fore deck slightly scar. Time to try and anchor her again in shallow water. It was useless, small anchors and bad holding! So, now there is a 100 footer hanging off the stern! The bitt...

Tales from the Sea!: April 2007

Tales from the Sea! Wednesday, April 25, 2007. ISLANDS OF THE SUN. February to March 2007. The steamy heat of the Caribbean, often whipped away by the steady easterly trade winds. On theses same winds, yachts carry on their leisurely way through the deep turquoise waters, so it’s no real surprise that there are so many yachts here over the winter season, who could resist the temptation. Grenada is almost at the end of the Caribbean chain of islands, known for the nutmeg plantations that are strewn across.

Tales from the Sea! Wednesday, February 18, 2009. IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME. Well, what can I say? Sorry for the long time between writing. If I have not been in touch with you since A long time, this is the story. Passed, had a few pints, as you do. Then went off down to the South of France for a break with some friends. Enjoyed yet another course there, for engineering (a lot more beer drunk at this one! In Newport, things changed for the good. There was a need for a captain onboard Seawalker, and I wa...

Tales from the Sea! Friday, September 29, 2006. June to September 2006. Pacific Halibut and Chips, Fresh Wild Salmon, and who can forget the Northern Cold Water Oysters! The Last Frontier’, and it lives up to its name as I found out over the summer months whilst cruising with the owner, and family. Nine days from San Diego to the base of the Kenai Peninsula. Clear skies greeted the morning, which began with a 3am daybreak. Amazing views of Mt. Augustine sm. The Alaskan adventure wouldn’t be complete with...

Tales from the Sea! Tuesday, January 03, 2006. March to May 2006. It begins in Antigua, the wind from aft and the poled out jib set. Next stop Panama, Atlantic side. The San Blas Islands is to be the destination for the next little while. I came here a few years ago, and was expecting a similar experience again. A sailing adventure through the San Blas islands is amazing, each island, some inhabited with family’s, some with nothing but p. Alms and sand. Others so full of people that you can barely wa...

Tales from the Sea! Thursday, December 01, 2005. BUSY EAST COAST SUMMER'S. July to December 2005. I kept the weather websites close, and waited till the swell built up from some of those devastating hurricanes in the south. In wake of the destruction brought often 3-4 feet of beach breaking swell, with good sand ba. A perfect over hand knot in the chain, yes! R, as our once and only guests were becoming unsettled. We had to just get the hell out of there, and go sailing. Most of the time was spent on sta...
