Welcome to the Maunie of Ardwall blog

This is the blog of Maunie of Ardwall. After a six-year adventure sailing from Dartmouth to Australia, we are now back in Britain.

Photos from our final night in the Channel Islands and the passage home


This was the view from Maunie on Friday evening from our anchorage in Havelet Bay, just outside St Peter Port. Castle Cornet is a fascinating fort, with layers of ever more recent fortifications including German gun emplacements from the occupation. We enjoyed a very peaceful evening, with a few sea shanties wafting across the water to us - Friday Night is Music Night at Castle Cornet apparently.


Beating back towards Dartmouth




A slightly chaotic handover of the helm - an unplanned gybed followed seconds later!


Order restored - Amy back in control



Last job of the evening, back on the mooring in Dartmouth - Di makes the bread for breakfast
