June 14, 2009: DiscriminationThis is really a blog entry for multihull owners, especially small catamaran owners. It’s a moan about the fact that many marinas charge 50% on top of the standard marina charges for multihulls. I have a small catamaran which is not as wide as many monohulls but as a multihull I am being charged 50% on top of the standard charge, even though many monohulls are beam... » read more

Morgans Afloat
Starting May 2009 sailing from North Wales and beyond . . .
September 04, 2011: Our trip across to Mallorca was quite eventful. An unpredicted storm was brewing in the skies so we tried to skirt around the black clouds, but to no avail. The rain was torrential but most worrying was the lightening all around us. We have all heard of the man who was struck down just because he had keys in his pocket or sheltering under an umbrella. Well there we... » read more

Scottish Isles Sailing Blog 2009
Beaumaris, Anglesey to Inner and possibly Outer Hebrides (depending on weather!) from July 12th to August 30th 2009. Sailing Soay, 32ft Sadler with John, Jan and Oscar.
