A strange twitter feed currently.... scores of high octane comments and video of the cracking Fastnet, interspersed by the cool relaxing imagery from on board GT35 Nova
#DailySky - Day 82 - Dappled morning skies from our berth at the unexpectedly pretty harbour of Port Ellen, from where we made a happy and rather moving visit to @Bruichladdich which is part of our family story #AroundTheseIslands
#DailySky - Day 80 - An windless early morning start provided silvery skies and seas, perfect for spotting many harbour porpoises and several minke whales as we swept down the Sound of Jura past the ancient hermitage on the McCormaic Isles (pictured) to Gigha #AroundTheseIslands
Look forward to this. So often it takes a disaster to highlight where we are going wrong. Not always but this can be attributed to poor rule development, not just in sailing but many aspects in life.
Next month marks the 40th anniversary of the #Fastnet Race disaster. In a special report, Nic Compton examines how the UK's worst sailing disaster changed the way yachts are designed - only in the #August issue of @yachtingmonthly - out now #Fastnet#yachtdesign#sailing#yacht
#DailySky - Day 60 - Surely one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world: Acairseid Mohr on Rona, nr Skye. Isolated from mobile signals too, so this is posted a day late. #AroundTheseIslands
As part of my voyage #AroundTheseIslands, campaigning organisation @These_Islands are publishing 12 articles. This first piece by Matt Kerr celebrates Southampton's relationship with the sea. https://t.co/M8dZKBu1Cv
Thanks @Robb_Robinson for inspiring us with your encyclopaedic sweep across the centuries, and into the future, celebrating the city of Hull #AroundTheseIslands
@DamianHinds East Hants did not vote for Brexit. You are our voice, very disappointing that you can't take the opportunity to support your constituency and speak for us.
GT ‘Nova’ at anchor in the Solent earlier in the summer. Thanks to @GTYachts (#GT35) and #Windboats for getting us here. We’ve been privileged to get the same kind of treatment as owners of @Gunfleetyachts - hugely impressive.
