Determined to get the boat back to London, I arrived early Thursday morning intent on doing a singlehanded night sail that evening. I found Excalibur calmly bopping away in Ramsgate marina with very little signs of seagull shit to...

Dover back to London

Tim Butler Posted onNovember 1, 2017November 1, 2017 dover, Dover marina, Force 7, Ramsgate Leave a Comment 390 Views

That was the plan….but it didn’t happen. I took a super early train down to Dover and worked (day job) from the boat. Ironically I’m developing an ocean themed website at the moment for a client, which is quite...

Brighton to Dover

Tim Butler Posted onOctober 16, 2017November 1, 2017 brighton marina, Dover marina Leave a Comment 408 Views

Another weekend, another night sail. I wanted to take every opportunity to get Excalibur further along the coast as soon as possible before any October storms rolled in. So we had an ambitious plan of doing a 14 hour...

Now it feels like I’m on my way home writing this post. Not much of a post this one I’m afraid to say. Sunday morning we got up at 4:45am to head to Brighton. We really wanted to do...

Salcombe – Poole – Lymington – Gosport

Tim Butler Posted onOctober 3, 2017October 3, 2017 Gosport, Gosport Marina, Hydrovane, Lymington, Lymington Yacht Haven, poole, salcombe, sea sickness Leave a Comment 316 Views

The logistics of getting down to Salcombe where we’d left the boat was a bit of a faff. We don’t have a working outboard at the moment and the water taxi’s don’t run late in Salcombe, so as we...

That’s it! We’ve signed up!

Tim Butler Posted onOctober 1, 2017October 9, 2017 Arc 2018 Leave a Comment 247 Views

On Sunday after a few drinks at home, sat on the couch, slightly inebriated on homemade cocktails we signed up to the ARC 2018. Seemed like a good idea at the time! Signing up to the ARC is like adding...

Plymouth to Salcombe

Tim Butler Posted onSeptember 28, 2017September 29, 2017 Plymouth, salcombe Leave a Comment 324 Views

There’s a few things that I wanted to get sorted before we venture much further. I was concerned about the engine vibration at low revs, and the rudder pintle. We had one guy over to give Excalibur a gas...

Holiday take 2 – Fowey to Plymouth

Tim Butler Posted onSeptember 27, 2017September 27, 2017 Fowey, Plymouth, Sutton Marina Leave a Comment 233 Views

We had a pretty motor to Plymouth. Once again there was no wind, so we motored through flat calm seas. We were still towing the tender, so I thought it would be a bit of fun to tow Trina...

Holiday take 2 – Falmouth to Fowey

Tim Butler Posted onSeptember 19, 2017September 20, 2017 Fowey Leave a Comment 200 Views

After a lazy morning we hauled up the anchor and set off for Fowey. I can’t recommend this anchorage enough. Smoke drifted across the shoreline from distant camp fires, and the silence was exactly what we needed after Falmouth....
