Bringing Arwen out of her long winter hibernation

Hello. In this video I refit Arwen after her long winter hibernation, explain why I have posted so few videos over the last year and share some of my plans for the forthcoming sailing season and a few adaptations I've made to Arwen's rigging.
Other videos about Arwen sailing our local waters can be downloaded as playlists from / plymouthwelshboy

Good to see you back again. Looking forward to you sharing all those lovely sailing adventures with us.

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Thank you. So am I 😆

[@damoog5985]

Yep i agree, great to see you getting ready for what I'm sure will be a great season. Thanks for sharing.

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Thanks. Looking forward to it

Oh, so very nice to see you back again, Steve, and to watch the re-fitting of Arwen. Looking forward to another season of sailing, albeit vicariously, with you. Cheers, and fair winds from rainy-seasoned Japan.

Thanks mikeu. Out on the water as soon as I can

@@plymouthwelshboy A request, if I may.. In some of your earlier videos you talked about the geography and history of some of the regions you sailed past. It would be "edifying" (at least for me) to learn more about the places you sail on by... Thank you!

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Will try to put that right in forthcoming videos

Very satisfying watching you prep Arwen. Just an observation- I moved my fire extinguisher to the transom after I had this thought- if you have to go retrieve the extinguisher, you are already too late. Up under the rear deck is always ‘at hand’ on a Navigator. Best wishes, Josh

[@plymouthwelshboy]

Josh that's a great tip. I'll mount it other side of transom. Thanks

Looking forward to this year’s first sailing!

[@plymouthwelshboy]
