July 31. Jav in regatta!

We had a fantastic start (most early starters got nowhere, some even behind the line), messed up around the mouth of the cut and unfortunately the wind was flukey and dropped so they cutr the race short. It was an ideal Jav wind. Did some spinnakering on the way back - up the cut as far as Zephyr.

30 July. Passengers

Cracking sail in Zephyr: Motored out most of the way to give a good time viewing seals and boardwalk to the point for out visitors. Picked and dropped-off from the quay.

July 29. Four-up in Zephyr to the point

Quite windy - needed all four on one side most of the time when beating. Got to the point - not sure we saw seals - but had a good boardwalk to the sea, got some driftwood and considered, briefly, taking a massive trunk back!

July 27. Epic Jav sail

Rik and I sailed the Jav. I used 'helmet cam' and got some footage of fast sailing and trapezing. Locks were in Ethelred and we met on the point. I thin we got the spinnaker up, too, but don't reckon there are photos of this.

July 18. Rik and Dad in Zephyr after shaky start

I think Rik, me and Mary set off initially but it was too gusty for Mum so we took her back. After a bit Rik and I set off again and had a good sail.
