When you cruise around the Isle of Man, it feels like you step back in time, with steam trains and old electric trams that are still running.
Main Information
Isle of Man
Sea State - Moderate
We had at last left Belfast Lough, it had seemed liked ages that we had been there. We had, had a great time but our itchy feet was moving us on. As usual, the weather had been too rough to get out...
Sailing the Irish Sea
We were in Liverpool and we were ready to leave, but there is always loads to do. One of them was to get our rigging checked. Apparently you need to be in the water to do this and there was one...

In trouble again

Queenies In Peel and Midnight Manoeuvrers

Passage Planning - Douglas to Whitehaven
Storm Hector had battered Salty Lass during the night, so much so that at one time she was healed over. Beverley commented that she didn't think that it was possible, but it was. It meant for an...
Train ride to Ramsey

Raising money for the RNLI
We were only on our third sail in our brand new boat to us and we had to call the coast guard for assistance. That assistance came in the shape of a RNLI boat from Portpatrick, so we have decided to raise money for the RNLI through our Damsels in distress page on just giving, that way you know that any money goes straight to them. We have set ourselves a target of £500 and we would like to honour our pledge, so if you like our videos then please give a little to those who rescue people in the seas around the UK.
