We've been out on my 33year old, 30ft Sagitta catamaran a few times since launching a month ago. But yesterday was the first "real" sail. I was joined by Alex and Kristina, who had sailed the boat a couple of times last year. There was more wind than expected, 20+ in Plymouth Sound. We left the mooring at 14.30, reached out to sea until we were 10 miles south of the breakwater (according to the gps) then turned round and were back on mooring at 17.30. 27 miles sailed. No breakages, but a spinnaker wrap on the last gybe as we re-entered the Tamar. So "a good time was had by all", and hopefully bodes well for the Falmouth Triangle race this holiday weekend.

A stingray materialising out of nothing. A banded eel that makes your brain double-take. An octopus that pulls time into slow motion. Then the ocean reminds you - loudly - that it’s very much alive. This isn’t a highlight reel. This is what it actually feels like down there. 👇 Come dive with us. - https://thejunk.com/

Welcome back to our motorcycle adventure through the breathtaking north! We're riding our BMW GSA 1250 through some of the most stunning landscapes in Sweden and Norway. In this episode, we start off in the spectacular island of Senja (close to Tromsø), riding along winding roads and stopping at iconic viewpoints like Bergsbotn and Husøy that take your breath away. From Senja, we take the ferry over to the world-famous Lofoten Islands, and yes – it’s just as magical as you’d imagine. We end the day in Bodø, strolling the harbor and remembering our visit here back in 2022. Whether you’re dreaming of your own ride up north or just want to experience the beauty of Scandinavia from your screen — this episode is for you. #MotorcycleAdventure #BMWGSA1250 #ArcticRide
