Talking about squalking !

The publisher of the web site Sailingonline, Dawn Smith, is both an accomplished sailor and raconteur, with whom it's always a pleasure to spend time, especially at sea.

Over the last few months she has been building content for the website and kindly asked me if there was anything I would like to contribute. It so happened I had recently upgraded my VHF radio installation, so the outcome was my article on modern VHF radio.

Go on, follow the link !

Dawn has now schooled me more fully on the meaning of 'max 1500 words', so future contributions will come in a single installment. I hope it's of use ot you, or a least food for thought.

Comments please !

Wow we're getting more and more hits and their coming from all around the world.

 We'd love to hear from you - so from today any one with a Google account can post a comment - and we promise to moderate it within the day (unless we're at sea...)

Sailing on line

Spent Saturday sailing with Dawn Smith of  www.sailingonline.co We tried to make it over to Porth Madog but, although there was a great F4 from the south, visibility was very poor. This would have made buoy hopping a chore and - more importantly - ruined the approach to PM, which is visually spectacular in even moderate conditions, so we went back to Pwllheli.

Sailing with Dawn is always a pleasure, and there is always something useful to learn and - visitors please note - she brough cakes to the boat.
