I had an old folding motorcycle trailer that I could take apart and rebuild into the camping trailer I wanted. This has drawers for storage, batteries for power and stabilizers when unhitched.

Travel Camping Camper
I decided that a Roof Tent was the way to go with camping.
But then I thought thats a bit high off the ground , and started to think of differeent options. BING the brain went off and I thought what about a folding tent trailer, Brilliant !!!!!!. Not so much as about a million people had thought of it before me. The advantage was that I would be able to copy someone else and use their ideas.

Well this is it. I think its pretty neat and I have trailed it around for a weekend to see what its like. Its easy to tow and the tend unfolds quickly and easily. The tent also has a closed cell mattress and built in LED lighting.

Das Boot
Well SV Bora DA is coming along nicely. I have finished most of the upgrades including the cabin, engine, self steering, MackPack, Jib strip, electrical etc etc. And the dinghy got a new engine!! The funny thing is that it took so long and if you ask me what I did last weekend its hard to be specific.
Working on a boat is an odd experience.
Everything and I mean everything takes 5 times longer. Its a mix of inaccessible places that you need to get access to, never having the right tool or parts ( no matter how much you plan ahead, and the difficulty of just moving about in a confines space. Of course everything also costs 5 times as much because its Marinised whatever that means, and half the time doesn't fit.
But I have only a few more things I would like to do , one of which is to fit a wind charger which will help power

They are not cheap and its a nice to have rather than a need to have, but I want to be power independent and this is a good addition. A watermaker would also be nice but there are easier ways of producing fresh water. The problem is that there is always something to do to make it better and its easy to become a dock queen. So sailing is what we will do and off we will go.
