The Recovery Begins


After 14 weeks and 4 days the cast was finally removed on Monday 16 February.

Today, I went for a walk along the old railway line beneath Kipling Tors, Westward Ho!

Progress was not rapid, and quite painful, but I did manage half a mile. Leg is now very swollen, and I need to rest.

Anyone want to clean those windows?

Kathleen and May Winter Refit


Today the Kathleen and May had her masts removed as part of the 2009 Winter Refit.

Sacha Hall, his brother Richard and the rest of the team have done sterling work on the spars so far, and it was now time to remove the masts for a good rub down and add a protective coat of Coelans.

It was all hands on deck and the team were assisted by a minibus of students from North Devon College.

The local press and a ITN Westcountry TV crew were there too.

It was good to get out, even if I couldn't give any practical assistance.
