Well ! I have neglected this blog for a long time, and now feel it's time to bring it up to date.

Adventure has done a few miles up and down the coast since my last post, with the longest trip being to Half moon Island about 30 miles off Dubai, for a weekend.

Here's a shot of one of my first solo trips with the Burj Al Arab Hotel in the background.

The mast refurbishment went pretty well, although I suspect it is raked a little too far aft.

I'm getting more weather helm than I expected.

She will have to come out of the water as I need to locate the waterline groove which has been painted over. Once this is located, it can be used to level the boat perfectly and then I can measure the mast rake.
