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

Here are some pictures of Port Haliguen, including a rock which I think is the one that Ben scraped his back on in 2006.

Also a small update. I spoke to the lady on board the boat we nearly rafted up to. She said her husband thought (having observed my two 180º turns and manoeuvre downwind into a tight berth) I was obviously a very experienced helm. Ha! Take that, Yachtmaster examiner!!!

Haliguen beach

I think that 10 years ago Ben jumped off this rock (centre of beach) into the sea and scraped his back. To cheer him up we collected a little nosegay of flowers, shells and pebbles which lived in a corner of Kalessin's saloon for years
