Introduction to the summer log by Jamie:

Whilst Liz worked her notice (yes, she finally handed it in but she had to serve 6 months, poor girl) myself and a number of guests sailed over 900 miles on Esper this summer and they are all documented in these pages! I was never going to get the whole log done myself so with a bit of gentle arm-twisting I got some of our guests to contribute their side of the story!

As for me, this summer was all about anchoring and sail trim. Oh, and berthing. Badly. Five months, 900 miles and a bent swimming platform later I've improved in all said areas, but not without a story to tell!

Hope you enjoy reading the following accounts as much as we did experiencing them! Use the top horizontal scrolling menu or the 'start' button, above.
