Brightlingsea One Design

My lack of original content and poor prose show up badly when compared to professionals like Dylan Winter. I came across another video he did as it had some Topper Xenons in sailing at Brightlingsea. Anyway it gives a great impression of what it's like where the Colne River opens up and what they look like underway.

The Brightlingsea One Design (BOD) is a big feature of this video and is similar to the Wivenhoe One Design (WOD) but bigger!

Anyway - here is how the pros do their video blogs.....

Video - Colne Estuary

I found some more clips on YouTube and think they are great. They show where I sail, all thanks to Dylan Winter (dylan.winter@virgin.net) - no I don't know him, but just giving credit where it's due!

Video - Wivenhoe to Colchester

Blimey - the water where I sail is famous and appears on YouTube!!

I found this video on YouTube which pretty much follows last Sunday's race. I reckon it was taken one of those weeks where I was unable to race - some of the boats are in the pictures Mrs Hook took on Sunday.

I am now blessed with a wealth of new facts about where I live; Mrs Hook's parents will not be pleased that Britain's largest recorded earth quake took place where they live and I also know why I described the turning at the buoy 'the arse of Colchester' - you'll have to watch the video to see why. Finally looks like I might need to move to Rowhedge!!
