Top week in Ibiza!! Did Manumission at Amnesia and saw Tiesto at Privilege (Claimed to be the worlds biggest club!) – they were both awesome spectacles and we finished the week watching the sunset at Cafe Mambo, which was very cool! Not a cheap week mind, a beer and a bottle of water in Amnesia…

Been quite busy recently, hence no post, but I have mostly been swimming, body boarding, sailing, water skiing, power-boating, out on my motorbike (yep, I bought one – see previous post) or polishing my car (in a 4 day machine-polish extravaganza – it almost looks new!) and now I’m packing for Ibiza – quite excited!!!

…this last week or so! I had to do a repeat theory test (the hazard perception test is complete cack but I will refrain from a rant and just say that I got 85% second time round!!) on saturday morning in Bath at 8.30 (it was the only place I could do it before my…

Got back in to Falmouth on Friday after a trip to Fowey; We set sail at 11.30 on Thursday and got in to Fowey for 3.30 in the afternoon. I’ve got to say that Fowey is a really nice, typical Cornish port, and it has some great restaurants too! After spending the night on Wazobia,…

Well this week I’ve passed my day skipper theory exams, which mostly involves using some big charts, a compass and divider and plotting bearings, headings, waypoints, Fixes, water tracks, ground tracks, finding out estimated positions, tidal streams, tidal depths, chart datum, drying heights and… well, you get the picture – its quite a lot to…

Well, I’ve finished work and moved out of Bournemouth – it had to happen eventually, but the start of summer seemed a pretty good time to do it! My parents have recently moved back to the UK so it will be good to spend some time with them down in Cornwall. So, bring on summer…
