"Papillon" is a Robert Tucker designed 'Fantasie 19' and my first boat.. I've been sailing since the age of 15 (when I did my RYA Part 1 and 2 at Emsworth Sailing School) so I've been on the water (but more in it) for going on 30+ years now... this blog is about our adventures together - they may be small one's (because despite the years I have little experience in boats - I was mostly windsurfing!), but they are adventures none the less..
I give up.... two days of rain and gusty wind... sat on the boat damp for an hour today waiting for it to stop raining... sun has just come out... 4 hours after high tide...
We toyed with the idea of launching the Cormorant dinghy, after an hour of go, no go wrangling, we didn't but went over to Emsworth anyway, the wind stated to drop and the sun came out by which time the tide was disappearing at a rate of knots - sometimes you just can't buck the system!
