Conwy

I started sailing in 2020 and bought Lottie at the end of the 2023 season. I like to get out on the water as much as possible. In the summer of 2024, I sailed up to the West Coast of Scotland and spent one month sailing up to Skye and across to the Hebrides. I intend to go South in 2025, eventually ending up in the Canaries by November and then possibly crossing the Atlantic.
