Walton Backwaters and new tent, 19-20 July 2026

 

Walton Backwaters, 4/5 July

I met up with some sailing chums for an overnighter, based at Titchmarsh Marina.  The boat was still on her trailer following the Coniston event in June, and also some further mid-season maintenance.  And I had Kizzy with me.  Otherwise, I would have sailed round.  But it was fun to trailer sail once more.  Fresh from a temporary repair to her keelband (see previous entry), we launched on the Saturday morning at thus ever welcoming Marina.

Herewith some video of the event.

Again, my failed electrics meant that I was unable to record my tracks from this event.  Again, for the ship's log, I have entered an estimated trip length of around 10nm.

A couple of days of November sailing based from Titchmarsh Marina.

Walton Backwaters: 23 May, 8-9 June

In May and June, I made two visits to Titchmarsh Marina in order to sail around the Walton Backwaters.  The first was a reconnaissance trip to prepare for the second which was a Drascombe Association rally I organised.

The following video gives a flavour of the event.

Track from 23 May, 8.8nm
