Sailing Preparation
Today a very important package arrived. Last time was off sailing around Penzance my knees ended up cut and bruised. And soon will be off sailing the same boat again, and would rather come back with unscared knees.
So over the weekend ordered the knee protectors below:
This simple bit of clothing was also a top tip on Live Sail Die - see this article here.

Does "Off the Beaten Path" Still Exist?
The answer is yes. While most Caribbean islands have seen surges in traffic in the past 5 years, likely do to increasing costs and safety concerns preventing many people from travelling too far from home, a few islands such as Dominica have not experienced such rapid growth. The result is a splendid, well-preserved island, whose tour companies and hotels are winning awards left and right for their conservation efforts. Not only do the conservation efforts help protect the local environment, but they keep development to a minimum, allowing for a true "Off the Beaten Path" experience. Enjoy!

9 months to New Zealand
Talked to an old friend today for the first time in years and was surprised to hear his plans.
He's bought a 31 foot boat and is about to sell up and head off to sail to New Zealand! He's going to take his time - about 9 months - taking the traditional Westward route of Biscay, Canaries, Caribbean, Panama, Pacific Islands etc.
And after that? Well he's talking of heading on to his home country of Australia where his Dad came from (Melbourne) and then maybe to keep going through the Indian Ocean to do a circumnavigation - or even keep going some more and do a circumnavigation and a half!
At the moment its just him, he has no crew. He's prepared to do it single handled but if there were volunteers........
Tempting!

Hot Weather
Its a hot and sticky evening here, the sort when all you want to do is sit outside with a cool drink, glass packed full of ice, and watch the sun set.
Since the kayak / canoe 2* been to the pool again where alas it wasn't a magic wow formula to make those rolls work first time, but still felt have learnt a lot since the first visit many weeks ago.
Everyone seemed outdoors today - the South Bank sailing club sailing down the Thames, the parks full of picnickers, and the tow path full of bikers and walkers.
Summer is truly here and thunderstorms are forecast for tonight.
