Falanda Sailing

 We had a cracking sail back to the exe today, trying out pretty much every point of sail with a fairly confused wind that swung round onto the nose as we approached the fairway.  Again, me and falanda had a fantastic sail, but this time in company with my parents, who were on a plastic yacht of all things! Although I was just slightly embarrassed to be seen next to a fibreglass boat, I must admit that I can see the comfort of head height, long berths, and a completely dry deck that seems to appeal to both of my parents.  I am blaming James and Fiona personally if my dad comes home with a fibreglass boat this summer!

 Me and falanda had a great blast out to sea today, we left Brixham, heading out into the channel until around 4pm when we had to turn around due to time restrictions - set by my parents! We didn’t quite make it to France today, but we will be having another go asap!  This isn’t the best video, however I think it partially shows the way in which Falanda glides over the waves almost effortlessly, instead of just bobbing around up and down in them. She glides over the water, occasionaly slicing through the chop, and so I cannot think of a better place to be than miles out on the beautiful Falanda. Shortly after this video was taken the wind picked up so u reefed down and then Falanda took off, and we were properly flying! I genuinely don’t think I have ever been happier than in that moment, I had the wind, rain, and spray in my face, and with falanda content as well, I had found true happiness- right in the middle of the English Channel!  It was just me, falanda and the sea...

 Here we have Boatlife ’s video of my live interview at the Birmingham boatshow in Febuary, which I believe 🤞 went fairly smoothly despite my fairly rushed arrival! https://youtu.be/nvThJu13xaw
