Quiet day sailing; did 23nm with some nice wind earlier on. Photo is from the run back to the club, with the sails full.

Boat recommissioned for the year!

Waxed and ready to launch!

Still catching up with things after my trip a few weeks ago.

One of the interesting approaches was to set up a Dropbox for the photos. Each of us the took plenty, and with the collective approach each of us has filled on photos for each other. It’s kinda nice, with the proviso by one of non-commercial, attribution. Can’t argue that!

It’s still a few weeks until my boat launches. I’m hopeful to be sailing the may 24.

Came with the house. Keeps blooming, and not being eaten by ungulates.

Sunbeam seeking minou.

À Londres!

Rudder repairs ongoing. Filled in with closed cell foam, now the epoxy/biax mix before fairing.

I've only been in this church once, on a sad occasion, and didn't know it had been deconsecrated.

The combination of rural population loss, and lower religiosity the church wasn't right-sized for quite some time. It also dates from when travelling a few miles to church, often via horse drawn carriage, had a church in every village.

I’m loving the bw mode on the new camera. This one was using a fill flash to pop el Neuro from the background. He is pretty monochrome, so it’s a good medium to capture him.

Reminds me of flash photos from the 60s — a similar effect would either occur or be planned for.

Neuro has a head tilt from an unknown condition prior to us adopting him. Thus the name.
