Winter's Veil





Warm spring sunshine has lifted winter's veil of morning mist, and brought the boatyard out of its hibernation.




I've been lucky with my choice of Stargazer's week ashore. The weather is perfect for polishing and antifouling.




All around me the air is perfumed with the evocative scent of wood shavings, varnish, paint and polish. Ravens caw raucously from the rigging.




We relaunch next week. Once the weather settles, we'll sail east and north for our new berth on the River Medway. Past Selsey Bill, Beachy Head, Dungeness, The Goodwin Sands, The Forelands and on into The London River.




The call of the curlew, across the East Coast cruising grounds, has become too strong for us to ignore.
