I was out in the bay this afternoon when I spotted two of these within a few hundred yards of the end of the Cobb. Clearly one rider was an expert and the other a learner. I watched fascinated as the expert made it look so easy. He just glided around and I could see […]

Extraordinary sky and light tonight over Lyme Regis IMG_6854

Only in those days the gardens finished where the statue of George Somers stands today. Between there and where I live is the Lister Gardens. For most of the 1950s the family that make all the chocolate, the Cadburys, owned that land. It stretched from the the Marine Parade (or Swim as it is now) […]

The weather leading up to this Bank Holiday week has not been very special and our boats have not been able to work every day as we would expect to at this time of year so I have been getting on with the gardening and Eddie who runs Marie F has carried on building his […]

Marie F and Sunbeam are back in the water for the new season Marie F relaunch March 2022

Never before have they both looked so good as they slid into the water ready for another season. Much of the reason they looked quite so perfect was the hard work put in by my crew Rob Fowler and Eddie Nolan, both of whom have put in many hours since last November. Thank you both […]

Beautiful dawn February sunrise over Lyme Bay Sunset 29-02-24
