This is brilliant on so many levels. I had to stop the car to listen. Sunderland Point, music, relationships, illness...

That would be great..... if only we had a bilge keeler

Thanks Einar, for a well balanced Quiz. Great company, good food and drink (thanks Val. John and Kevin). Hope everyone got home without incident.

Nice article, and all sailable from Glasson.

Please can someone put it on GSC Facebook, cos I tried and failed, as I don’t “get” facebook

Oh dear. How frustrating (and too cold to be hanging about). As far as I know, it's still the old code till end of Feb. Last time I went I'd taken both codes, just in case, but the usual one worked! I don't know why it didn't work for you. Was it anything to do with the twist of the handle do you th...

Evidently it’s clogging everything up.

Part of a series about life after 60. Started with a Sadler 25
Hope the link works, I've not tried that on the forum before.

Who has walked up the coast northwards from Portpatrick, and admired the house hidden into the hillside, on the coast opposite the golf course? If you want to see how it was built, and have a look inside and round onto the front of the house (which you can't see from the path) then watch Grand Desig...

Alison I'm so glad you did that post. I would have done it myself had we not been travelling all day.
It was a lovely weekend, with so many people about and everybody enjoying being back at the Club. Thanks to all the people who helped to organise this.

Never mind Duncan - it seems the Ship on Piel has opened again. Steve back at the helm. Unless my Google sources are wrong, that is.
If anyone has first hand info, please post as a new topic.

Well, the post about Day Boat sailing said "10th July Viking Invasion", and above it says the events are moved from Saturday to Sunday. If this is the usual GSC Viking Invasion which used to be a big event.....who knows about it? I for one didn't. Is it because Snatchems is shut that there...

Am I the last person to know that it IS possible to visit the IOM, subject to certain caveats? I thought they were "Shut" till September.

Love your posts. Thanks for allowing us to sail vicariously! As Ann Johnson said when traveling on our narrowboat "Isn't it great when you don't have to worry about tomorrow's weather forecast".
I hope that the weather is kind to you, and you get to visit al the places on your wish-list.

Wow, Einar, what a good read. I wasn't expecting much, seeing as nothing much has happened. But I couldn't put the new Mainsheet down till I had finished it. Well, that's not entirely true.... I didn't continue with the search for the NW Passage :roll: . But I might finally be able to remember which...

illum.jpg Well done everyone for getting this far.... Happy New Year. So many messages I have seen are along the lines of "Well, it can only get better". Well, it HAS got better. It's stopped raining for one thing - so now we have snow! Last year gave us a new appreciation of friends and ...

Brilliant quiz, Mick. Thanks very much. And the chat after was on a refreshing variety of things.... I mean, you do get fed up of Covid, Covid after 8 months. Just for the record, it was D who won, not me. Just cos I put my hand up (pushy woman :roll: ). He only got the number of moonwalkers wrong. ...

This was the easiest, most stress-free Laying up Supper ever.... and that was without my usual helpers.

Oh dear Chris, plum time was about 8 weeks ago.They were falling off the tree and breaking the branches. I put a sheet on the floor to catch them rather than getting squashed into the gravel! My own tree gave us loads in early August Put a note in your diary for next year so you don't miss them agai...

She wasn't happy for long. I hadn't taken any Stugeron, because the weather was calmer, but concentrating on a small patch close up (same as reading which I can't do on a voyage) made me icky.

Yes, it is a repeat of course, but great to see familiar places on screen. It did just rub it in though what a great loss the closure of the pub at Piel will be. Women's football tonight , but they are back on Thursday travelling Northwards.

Thanks for sharing your voyage with us. We have still not even managed to get to Piel this year. Trying again next weekend ,(3rd time lucky?).
Getting both high enough tide to launch, and wind not too strong for us softies is almost is an impossibility.

Until John has Wifi, he asked us to put his texts on the forum. Yesterday eve he said "Hi Dave and Chris. We picked up a mooring at Piel 1900. Had to motor to Lune 1, then a fast sail to Piel. Norman asked me to check his mooring, it looks ok. Cheers John and Bob" Then later "There's ...
