KALESSIN OF ORWELL IS A 33FT WESTERLY STORM. IN 2006-8 WE SAILED HER DOWN TO PORTUGAL, INTO THE MED, AND HOME THROUGH THE FRENCH CANALS. IN 2011 WE EXPLORED BALTIC GERMANY AND DENMARK. AFTER SAM'S STROKE WE CRUISED GENTLY ON THE EAST COAST, THE NETHERLANDS AND BRITTANY, AND IN 2021 SAILED TO CORNWALL AND BACK. IN 2024, FOLLOWING SAM'S DEATH, CAMILLA IS UNDERTAKING A MEMORIAL ROUND-BRITAIN CRUISE

Yesterday I had to take a whole lot of ID documents to Tollesbury, so that Fellowship Afloat could get Guy ok'd through the Criminal Records Bureau disclosure check. I do hope that if he had a criminal record I would know about it. Of course I am very glad that the checks are done, but at an outdoor centre there must be a much higher risk of falling overboard and drowning than there is of being molested by a paedophile in the next Wayfarer. Sometimes we seem to pay more attention to the second risk than the first.

Fellowship Afloat is housed in an old lightship, Trinity. With a spring high tide and glorious sunshine it was looking wonderful, and I wondered why we are chasing all the way down to Spain when our own east coast is so lovely...
