<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aside from this blog, which sits 'on top' as an umbrella commentary and explainer, there are three blogs with content:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://sirenaiv2013.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SIRENA IV 2013</a> </b>- half-circumnavigation of UK, contributed to Cruising Association, frozen</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://sirenaivgillingham.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SIRENA IV @ Gillingham</a></b> - rolling news of small trips, maintenance and additions, updated May 14 with lots of yard work pics</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://sirenaiv2014.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SIRENA IV 2014</a></b> - intended cruise along the South Coast of England, started May 14 during prep</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We do hope this segmentation helps people to find what they want.</span>Yacht SIRENA IVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17412081926866925930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465267752963351546.post-84951359419234745742014-01-21T03:07:00.000-08:002014-04-09T06:24:56.556-07:00Blog aspirations - all sorts of sailing<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Scroll down for two blogs below giving links to the authors, and to the existing 'experience' blogs sitting under this master.</b> This master blog is a 'note to ourselves' really, plus an aspiration of the other history that might be added here, a reminder of the style and content that we are trying to pursue, and a way of pulling all the other blogs together as they build up over the years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The <b>histories</b> then that <i>could </i>be captured here one day, for context and posterity, are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Nic's sailing history including </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">SIRENA I and II - dinghies in Dorset and some passages</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Lesley's sailing history - from Greek idyll to dinghies on the Thames</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- SIRENA III - Jaguar 25 at Greenwich and Gillingham</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- <u>SIRENA IV - Nicholson 35</u> - the first year: purchase, Fleetwood, Irish Sea and IoM adventures. This yacht is everything we want - strong, safe, go anywhere and manageable by husband and wife co-skippers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As to the <b>style and content</b>, when we read other blogs and articles we are often left feeling we have a surfeit of land-based information at the expense of sailing information. Therefore we aspire to write about passage plans, weather, sea conditions, sail plan, navigation and breaks & fixes. Because this is what we find interesting to read from others, and we imagine some others at least will be interested to read it here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Please <b>add comments</b> to our blog entries - we really welcome them, and will respond.</span>Yacht SIRENA IVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17412081926866925930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465267752963351546.post-38172546583841398872013-09-09T10:43:00.001-07:002013-09-09T10:44:22.885-07:00Expanding blogs<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We've been a little remiss in pointing out a re-organisation of our blogs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are now two blogs 'under' this Master (and perhaps more to come).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The new one is all about<b> <a href="http://sirenaivgillingham.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SIRENA IV based at Gillingham</a></b> Marina in Kent, and local trips from there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We decided, despite it's name, to leave the<b> <a href="http://sirenaiv2013.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">SIRENA IV 2013 blog</a> </b>as a record of us sailing (& motoring!) half-way round the UK to bring her from Fleetwood where purchased to Gillingham near(ish) where we live in Greenwich.</span>Yacht SIRENA IVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17412081926866925930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465267752963351546.post-36203670432495642202013-05-01T08:46:00.000-07:002013-07-24T10:36:41.984-07:00Start-up announcement<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the master for a set of blogs by <a href="http://www.nicvine.com/" target="_blank"><b>Nic Vine</b></a> and <a href="http://www.lesleycurwen.com/" target="_blank"><b>Lesley Curwen</b></a>, relating adventures various on their Nicholson 35 yacht called SIRENA IV (built 1978 by Camper & Nicholson, number 155 out of 228 in total).</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We start in catch-up mode because it's 1 May 2013, and we bought the boat on 4 Apr 2012.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The trigger for this blog is our plan to set off in about a week to spend about 10 weeks doing a half-circumnavigation of the UK. To read about this trip, and the preparation, you need to go to the <a href="http://sirenaiv2013.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>SIRENA IV 2013 blog</b></a> (click on the text).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If we ever find time we'll create a retrospective blog for 2012 and for SIRENA IV's history (she was known as Petanya before us). Assuming we survive and enjoy the trip in 2013 there will be blogs for following years.</span></div>
