About Me

My photo
steve
A welshman displaced to wonderful Plymouth in SW England; a novice sailor, motorhomer, astronomer and boat builder with a passion for all things to do with the sea and the skies above. Follow my journey as I learn to sail Arwen, grappling with charts, tide tables and passage planning so that I can become 'a dinghy cruiser' Follow my learning journey as I take up astronomy and astrophotography. Or you can come join us on our motorhome adventures across Europe. Subscribe on any of our blogs: Arwen's Meanderings (PlymouthWelshBoy), UnderSouthWestSkies (PlymouthAstroBoy) or Wherenexthun and at www.youtube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy for videos about dinghy cruising. I look forward to hearing your comments, tips and thoughts.
