Today I sailed home my new to me 1972 Bristol Carvel 22. I purchased for a great deal on eBay, if I told you how much you wouldn’t believe me so don’t even ask . Let’s just stay. It was an awesome deal. So I purchased her without ever looking at the cabin. I saw her from the shoreline, and I fell in love with this vintage sailboat. Now it’s time to start the motor for the very first time and head down the channel in East Greenwich Bay. Then it’s off to Narraganset Bay towards her new slip.  This was a lovely first day of ownership. Come along with me on this journey with Sailing Vessel PAI NEY formally SV WHITE DOVE. Thank you for watching another episode of Solitude And Sailing. Fairwinds and following seas to all.

Other sailors advised us to visit the 2 islands below Cannes, because it was so idyllic. You would be very protected from wind and swell on the 'Plateau du milieu' = between the 2 islands, where it was only 3 meters deep and a good sandy bottom. in this crystal clear water the azure color of the Mediterranean Sea was clearly visible. It was indeed beautiful! Here's a movie filmed with a drone as we lay at anchor (thank you Marco Clazin!). You see, we weren't the only boat this summer ;)

After a 22 year absence the Admiral's Cup is back as Cowes played host to the return of the self proclaimed World Cup of offshore sailing. Starting with the offshore Channel Race and running into three days of inshore races in the Solent, the return of this famous team event was a huge success before it's even been won. Matt Sheahan reports from Cowes at the heart of the event where he watched the racing blow by blow and talked to some of the big players.
