Where was your most recent sail — even if it was only a short passage. Where did you go? What happened? I’d love to see some photos. Last time I sailed was in November for my Coastal Skipper with Bourne to Sail and @Craig Coupe . Headed up to the Solent from Eastbourne and had some nice down wind action on the way back in some meaty sea - if I recall I think it was F6 - F7. Also did what was for me my most challenging and choppy entrance into Brighton Marina 🤣 Definitely not the easiest one done. Good times.

What was your first sail boat?

What do you love about sailing the most? Of course, cracking open a cold after a long passage is pretty sweet. But… For me, sailing has reconnected me with nature. I’ve become more tuned to the natural environment both on land and whilst on the water. Having a deeper and sometimes intuitive understanding of what’s happening in our environment is pretty awesome. How about you? What’s the single best thing about sailing for you right now?

Any tips on how to hook up to a mooring buoy solo?
