ARIADNE
She is a Rustler 36,based on the Solent. The website records many technical details of the boat, and modifications we have made. Perhaps this will be helpful to others.

TRUE

Originally designed by Mick Orchard for his own use, True is well equipped for Pacific Cruising. Several of these 39 ft cutters were built. We aim to describe her here.

CRUISES

By linking to our Flickr image site, much more information is available about our past cruises (and other expeditions) in Europe, and our visits to NZ.

GOODIES

There are guides to my Flickr and YouTube sites; also an entry to AIS, showing shipping density in real time. And don’t miss the bLog!

CREATING LOGS
I am often asked how I create my paper Logs. This section contains a few tips, based on experience. (I know where the potholes are; I have fallen in them all!)
This section includes advice on digital camera photo image editing for DVDs and narrative Logs

ENVIRONMENT
Just a few comments. On the whole, I am not keen on the way legislation is going, based on my experience as environment manager for a major port group.

Tip: Clicking on pictures on this web site may take you to Flickr where a larger copy will be available. Select ‘actions’ then ‘all sizes’ when you get to Flickr and you can choose the best viewing size for the picture

In some cases an enlargement will appear in a ‘lightbox’ that cannot be adjusted

Tip:

If you are directed to a Flickr set page you can

(a ) click on a thumbnail to enlarge it (then select ‘actions’ then ‘all sizes’ above the picture to see the best size)

(b) select ‘slideshow’ at the top right (then click on the button with 4 arrows to go full screen; select ‘slow’ in options; and click on show info; park cursor halfway up right of screen)
