A new sailing video

Posted here due to the demise of the video forum. It's about as sailing related as one can get, so at least it's on topic for the skuttlebutt

What a thoroughly enjoyable series of videos.

Hi Nathan
following your trip and wishing I could turn the clock back some 45 years to do the same.
Having said that I would have to brush up on my Nav' skills as there were none of the modern 'bits an bobs' I now have.
SWMBO has just emailed you and is smitten by your 'charm' and thanks for letting her see the adventure one can have with a fairly basic but great little boat.
I can see you are desperatly in need of a wind vane. Havn't you managed to borrow one of those yet
I notice you rarely if ever mention the Charity you are supporting....how are the donations going?
best of luck
Scotty

You're right, I should make more effort on that front. I've only raised £235 so far.

I'm finding it hard to juggle it all. I don't think I've ever been so busy, but in a good way... most of the time

I've been reading Aristotle a little lately, and in his Nicomachean ethics he states that a person needs to be essentially comfortable in finance and leisure before he can help others. I don't tend to agree with that, because there's always something you can do no matter what your situation is, but I have been concentrating on keeping Kudu afloat and me eating, a little too much, which has left little thought for raising money elsewhere. Quite shameful, although admittedly important on the self preservation front.

If anybody reading this can spare a little, please consider clicking the link below. It really is a worthwhile cause.

Hi there Nathan
Been following your progress, fantastic stuff and highly entertaining (in a positive way!).
I noticed you are heading up to my part of the woods (Aberdeen), unfortunately I am working in Norway until the 18th Aug. so we probably won't get the chance to catch up with you around there. However, I presume you will be over on the West Coast at some point, so we may get a chance to catch up with you around Tobermory or Mull.

Keep it up lad - you are an inspiration and a credit to your generation.
Fairwinds.

PS - I put a link to your site on my own blog (which is not a fraction as entertaining as yours). http://www.sailblogs.com/member/rosally/?xjMsgID=97833
