Sailing from Lymington, England to Lorient, France.

After replying to an advert on Crewbay I joined Jonathan, Bruce and Thomas on a sailing yacht (Dolly) from Lymington, England to Lorient, France (via Guernsey, Roscoff, Brest, Camaret-Sur-Mer & Concarneau). It was a fantastic week of sailing, we saw sunsets, rainbows, dolphins and got some brilliant wind.

Jonathan and Bruce have now continued their sail onto the Mediterranean.

1700miles in a tiny speedboat - Part2

An attempt to take our small, four meter speedboat around the entire coast of the UK. The total journey is 1700 miles.

In this episode Charlie ( joins for a stint as we fit the new propellor and head out from Eastbourne towards Brighton. From there we venture on to the Isle of Wight for a night under the stars before taking a turn around the famous Needles. We cross open sea to the Dorset coast and stray into a military firing range. Unscathed we pop for lunch in Lulworth cove and then make the short hop to Weymouth where Chris is awaiting for us with the trailer.

Thanks to Emily, Jeremy and Monty for putting us up for the night and to Chris for picking us up in the trusty Landrover.

The weather is getting a bit nippy so we might need a bit more gear for the next stint... This is not the end.

The boat is an old Avon SR4 Searider from 1977. I made a series about restoring it.
I filmed this episode on a selection of cameras. The 5D and old gopro are dead so at sea I used a gopro hero 8, a bit of filming on my phone, a One plus 6 and a Phantom 4 pro +. On land I also filmed with bit my my larger Panasonic S1. Not so keen to take this out in the salt water though.
The map I used in the animated sequence is from these guys

A whistlestop tour of the History of Poole

A sunset trip on the Sandbanks Chain Ferry on the summer solstice

Enjoy the Sandbanks Chain Ferry crossing Poole Harbour in Dorset from Bournemouth and Sandbanks in the west to Studland and Swanage in the east.

It’s the summer solstice, the sun is setting, so what could be better than a little trip on the Sandbanks ferry to enjoy the views. The trip from the Haven Hotel on the Sandbanks side to Shell Bay on the Studland side only takes a few minutes. The Bramble Bush Bay, as the current ferry is named, became the fourth Sandbanks ferry in 1994 on this ferry crossing that came into being, following an Act of Parliament, in 1923 and which continues today to be run by the Bournemouth-Swanage Motor Road and Ferry Company. It provides a service 365 days per year accommodating 48 cars and operating every 20 minutes. Without the crossing, a 25-mile trip by road is required between Poole and Swanage. On the Studland side – technically the Isle of Purbeck – the road continues through to Swanage, or of course many visitors come for Studland Beach which stretches 4 miles to the west, including Knoll Beach which is the site of the UK’s most popular nudist beach. The Haven Hotel, at the far western point of Sandbanks Beach is famous for being the site of Marconi’s wireless experiments between 1898 and 1926. At the time, the Sandbanks peninsula was largely uninhabited, containing two hotels, a coastguard and just a handful of private homes. Today, the Sandbanks peninsula has the fourth largest land value by area in the world; Panorama Road, visible in this video, is known as Millionaires Row on account of its large and super-expensive houses. Bournemouth Beach, to the east of Sandbanks Beach, is regularly voted one the best, if not the best beach in the country and in Europe. During the filming of the video, we had to wait a while on the Studland side as the Barfleur Ferry sailing from Poole to Cherbourg had to come through on its way through the narrow opening into the English Channel. The two ferries have had an altercation or two in the past!

Travel Blog: UK Places - Bournemouth, Dorset

A new episode in this series sees me visit Bournemouth, partly because of the Beach but also because of a subscriber challenge who suggested I should vlog the town. So, on a BUSY bank holiday I did.

Bournemouth, reknowned for being an Old People's town, did not live up to this because there were loads of younger people and families.

_________________________________________________________________
Just in case anyone is interested I was accosted by a passer-by, while making this vlog. Firstly, he claimed to be a Police Officer (in civvies and presumably off duty). Second, he claimed I videod a woman on the beach deliberately and that, Thirdly, I should not have a F*king video camera on my scooter.

i suspect the person isn't actually a police officer and is actually impersonating one for his own ends of harassing me If he is a real officer then he needs some disability awareness training and also a better understanding of the UK Laws on video in public spaces!

I have sent details to Bournemouth Police because it upset me so much I cut the day short and went home, despite having a weekend planned including a hotel.

Sailing in Woodbridge U.K.

This is a video of my first time sailing!

In August 2017 I decided to leave the U.S. and travel solo to Southeast Asia. It was the single best decision I've ever made. Now, almost a year later, I'm still traveling and couldn't be happier with my life and how it has changed.

Enjoy!

Lifeboat Flotilla Poole 1999

RNLI 175th Anniversary June 1999
A record of a unique sail-past of lifeboats new and historic from around UK the world.
Filmed by Tessa Ivory at Sandbanks, Poole

Dorset Blind Association member is featured on Saints and Scroungers

Dominick Littlewood of BBC One's Saints and Scroungers, meets Chris, who lost his sight in a random brutal attack. Chris is shown putting his life back together, no easy task - but help is at hand. Dom explores Chris's long road back to reclaiming his life after his sudden loss of sight with the help of local services and the Dorset Blind Association.
Chris's attacker was sentenced to seven months and served only half of that, but Chris will live with the consequences of the attack for the rest of his life. Thanks to Chris's strength of will and the persistence of Carol Jenkins, DBA Community Support Worker, Chris developed the confidence to get around using a white cane and began meeting others living with sight loss at one of the many groups sponsored by Dorset Blind Association. Carol was also able to help Chris and his family get the help they needed from the DPW and other benefits to which they were entitled and that has helped them keep their home and family afloat.
As Chris's confidence grew he was introduced to Poole Saleability and through them was able to take up his passion for sailing again. This demonstrates what can be achieved with the right sort of assistance -- assistance that is tailored to the needs of each individual to help them make the most of their life.
The Dorset Blind Association (reg. no. 1140321) works across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset to help people with sight loss lead full, independent, healthy and socially active lives. The charity focuses on delivering practical services directly into the community to make sure that these are as accessible as possible to the individual and their family. While the sight loss condition itself sadly cannot be cured, the charity works to stop that sight loss from causing or leading to other physical or mental health problems.
You can find out more about the Dorset Blind Association on their website and by liking their page on Facebook. You will find the Dorset Blind Association working at locations all around Dorset but their offices are located at 17 Bournemouth Rd, Lower Parkstone, Poole Dorset BH14 0EF, Tel: 01202 712860, Web Site: dorsetblind.org.uk, email: info@dorsetblind.org.uk
