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.

Start of a week's cruise

We're back aboard Maunie with god-daughter Amy and niece Laura. We're hoping to get back to Brittany and the Channel Islands but the forecast is for Force 7-8 for tomorrow ( Sunday) so the planned channel crossing has been postponed for a day. We still aim to do a shake-down sail, well-reefed, tomorrow and hope that the wind will abate on Monday. At least the rain seems to have passed through so we've had a good day in Dartmouth, with a great lunch at the Dartmouth Apprentice and a relaxed supper aboard as the sun sets over Brittania College.
More news and photos to follow.
