Mersea Island to Dartmouth ...

This time we took Carronade VII of Tortola from her home in West Mersea, Essex to Dartmouth in Devon. It took us 42 hrs and we covered 277 nautical miles ... giving us an average speed of 7 knots. Mid-sail we ran the gaunlet of the Round the Island fleet who were heading past St. Catherine's Lighthouse in the opposite direction and we decided that there must be about 10 Portland Bills as it took forever to get past it !!!

The whole route ...

A more global perspective ...

Leaving from West Mersea ... Club Launch to yacht and then we are off ...

Arriving in Dartmouth ... it was 2.30 am :)

Ireland to Newcastle ...

Here's a route that the new Garmin Nüvi 770 recorded for me ... From Enniskillen in Ireland to Newcastle via Birmingham ... Unfortunately I learnt the trip log on the 770 is only holds your last 10k points so I lost the first part of our holiday that was in the other direction ... apparently newer models archive it off ... come on Garmin give us this facility in an update :)

Round trip to get the post ...

What do you do in the morning when you need to get your post ... take a trip into the city of course! Here's a round trip route :)

Out to the coast ...

Today we drove out to the coast and back ...

Hoofddorp to Bambrugge

From Hoofddorp I followed the N201 out until the Vinkeveense Plassen ... I followed the dyke across it, past the houses of the Nouveau Riche until I hit the A2 ... low and behold the underpass was shut so I had to take a dog leg south and then back up the road that follows the Angstel ...

Amsterdam to Hoofddorp

Here's a route with a big W in the middle ... go from Amsterdam to Hoofddorp and you also get to go under the taxiway for the planes that land on the Polderbaan :)

A new nüvi 770

I bought myself a Garmin nüvi 770 amd went out for a drive ...
