Summer on Renegade

Renegade is cruising the south coast of Brittany. She left the Orwell in mid-June and with night stops at Brighton and Dartmouth arrived at Camaret after an uneventful channel crossing. She’s already visited Duarnanez, Iles de Glanans, Ile de Groix and Belle Ile and there’s plenty of time for further exploration before the journey home in late August or September.

Tender thoughts

The tender behind-

-Salute The Battleship Potemkin, a Piersian invention.

 

"On the battleship Potemkin

            While seated in the bow,

Surveying Orwell River

            And trees upon the brow,

Of hills and pubs and churches,

        Yachts tacking with know-how;

There's nowhere else to match it

And to this I vow.

 

The Battleship Potemkin

            Has horses two point five;

No Quinquereme of Nineveh

            Is she who jumps and jives

And parts the waves Britannically

            'ore Orwell's chops and dives;

She is most proudly nonpareil

She'll even save our lives.

 

The Battleship Potemkin

            Is lacking not that much

            But barebreasted figurehead

            Plus convoluted gingerbread

            A lengthly line of swinging lead,

Would add the Nelson touch.

The Cleat Hitch

The Cleat Hitch As usual there are at least two schools of thought.

Flying a blooper. That's the way to do it! Of course you don't have to be Irish.
