Dinghy cruising is refreshment for the soul?

A part one of two videos about a day sail around Plymouth Sound after a long absence from sailing Arwen. Arwen is a 14' 6" John Welsford designed standing lug yawl, his 'navigator' dinghy. You can find other videos about Arwen and my voyages together on our CZcams channel, where they have been organised into playlists for your convenience. Arwen also has her own blog at www.arwensmeanderings.blogspot.co.uk
If you are into motorhoming, Arwen has a sister blog about Bryony, our motorhome, found at www.wherenexthun.blogspot.com

G'day mate. LOL this from an Ely boy, who's been living in OZ for way too long. Loving your videos. Visited Cornwall and stayed in Falmouth, some time in the mid(?) 60's. Gotta love sailing/cruising. Ironic. You are sailing a NZ designed boat. So am I ,in a Hartley TS16. Good to see you enjoying JW's boat.

watcha! glad u enjoy videos - my on line diaries for when i'm old and unable to sail :) John's boats are fantastic - just been up the tamar today seeing a friend with his new pathfinder. More videos soon. Take care now and thanks for getting in touch

StayCornish😬 🏴‍☠

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Thanks Mike. If the weather can calm down a bit, I'll be out some more as well 🙄😆

As you say sailing in sunshine is good for the soul

[@plymouthwelshboy]

It most certainly is. I don't mind windy; I'll accept the odd shower BUT not having any sunshine - yuck! :)

[@dirtywetdogboatsandsailing6805]

Wow, actually not raining !

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Yeah ...take the breaks when you can 🙄

[@derrickburry1788]

Welcome back. Though I've watch several of your videos from the past, today is my first after subscribing to your channel. Just curious, what is your maximum wind speed when choosing a day for a daysail?

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Hello. Good question. I'm happy to go out in up to 12 - 14 knots and gusts no more than 22kts. I get very seasick when it gets bumpy ... I've found that somewhat spoils the enjoyment 😆 I'm happiest in 7 -10 knots and below 4 knots I get bored 🥱 😆 if arwen could be towed long distances I wouldn't mind but she can't so listlessly bobbing about irritates me

[@derrickburry1788]

@@plymouthwelshboyThank you for your reply. This is good information for me as I sail a boat of my own design and nobody else in my neck of the woods (Newfoundland east coast) sails small open boats. A shame really, since we're a culture of sail and oar boats for hundreds of years, but sadly, that tradition is all but lost. Your sailing preferences are much in line with me, so this indicates I'm pretty much on track with you. I've learned much from the experiences of other small boat enthusiasts like you. Thank you!

you are most welcome
