Cape Cutter Association Rally 2019

This video provides some snapshots of the 2019 Cape Cutter rally in Essex, UK. I shot most of this on my iPhone, whilst sailing solo, so don't shoot me down if some of the clips are not quite straight. This video makes it look like there wasn't much wind, but of course I was too busy to steer with one hand and film with the other when conditions were lively. We had superb sailing on the rivers and sea along a particularly beautiful stretch of English coast. My thanks to all the marinas where we stayed overnight, but especially to Fambridge Yacht Haven for their friendly hospitality and assistance.

I am getting my catboat ready at the moment and can not wait to sail in the spring this video was superb. It is so nice to see young people enjoy these special memories and moments in life. Halcyon days.

une région que j'aime beaucoup et que j'ais bien commencé a découvrir malheureusement la suite des découvertes risque d'être de plus en plus compliquées a cause du Brexit le covid est un problème mais le Brexit décourage les visiteurs et navigateurs d'allez vers l'Angleterre .

I hope it is getting easier now. I know it is easier crossing in a yacht from UK to France

What a shame you by-passed Mersea; a lovely unspoilt harbour with a lively fishing community, a yacht club, sailing club and traditional smacks.

[@erbster200]

We could only fit so much in! I have since visited West Mersea - look at my recent videos if you are interested
