No, this wasn't us, but taken at a regatta the other weekend.
A quick post today with mixed news. OK, I’ll start with the bad news which is that I have an acute flare up of a gum disease which will mean lengthy and costly sessions with the hygienist.
But the good news is that we launched the boat yesterday, having found a farm to keep it at for much lower rent than anywhere else. He’s also a contributor to Cornwall Today, which keeps it in the family!
So we launched the boat on Weir Beach and sailed over to St Just, taking Moll with us. She’s not that mad keen on going out in the motor boat but seemed to enjoy this, standing with her paws on the deck and ears streaming behind her.
I had had a stressful few days and was exhausted and wobbly. But we got out on the water and I could feel all those troubles drifting away. There was just us, the rush of the water as we sailed along, the wind in our faces and a solitary heron watching us from the shore.
It was quite magic. And as the forecast is rubbish for the next few days, and it’s lovely this afternoon, guess what we’re doing?!

Ah you did it! Bon voyage. :)
Ak - hooray!
Ooh, your gums must be sore, I hope they're much better soon.
I love the sound of Molly's ears flying behind her on the boat and am glad you had such a great time.
Tahnks Debs - gums arent sore but they could be!
I always find being by water (sea/lake/river) so relaxing. Sorry about the gum disease though. Hope it gets better soon.
Sore gum probs. Oh, poor you, Sue!
But enough of all that. You do know, don't you, that all these lovely sailing exploits have the rest of us drooling?
