'Chortle' is our family sailing boat since 2016. She is a Sadler 29, with bilge keels, twin skinned and polyurethane filled hull (apparently unsinkable) and was built in 1984. She has received considerable amounts of work in her refurbishment from dad and we now enjoy taking most of our holidays on her in the waters of the west coast of scotland.

more dolphins
this weekend saw more dolphins and cheered the tired and not over enthusiastic crew up no end.
great video. We have a photo of Chuckle with dolphins swimming at the bow all within 100 yds of Berwick pier. Hope to get her into Eyemouth in the next week or so weather and work permitting!
well, Chuckle is in her berth at Eyemouth. Picked a cold grey and overcast day to set off. Wind was forecast a 3 but vanished as soon as we cleared Berwick estuary so we ended up motoring all the way. Enormous swell so much so that a member of the public reported us as in difficulty. Fortunately I was able to cancel the search and rescue before it began! Cold grey overcast and raining all the way but we made it.
