April 2014: Getting braver!
Click on Thumbnail
I don't know if it's the 18.5 year tidal cycle, but some of the neaps really are neap at the moment! Not much time to use Seatern on a single neap tide. However on 5th I made use of a neap tide for my first "two tide" sail.

Compass swinging
Click on Thumbnail A calm day so tried swinging the compass by sailing round in circles but couldn't get it to calibrate. Then found that NASA have changed the method and you are meant to motor on set bearings arranged at 45 degree intervals. Not very successful but the track plot is interesting! Probably need to do it again with two people on board. [Track: 2.1nm; duration: 1hr 44min!]
