Good Afternoon,
Last Sunday (21st) was the sail-out for the next leg of the 2023 Ocean Race, with the boats heading to Denmark. It was a beautiful day, with crystal-clear skies, but alas, the winds around 5 knots at best. It took well over an hour for the boats to make it out of Newport Harbor, past Castle Hill lighthouse, and on to open water (about 1-1/2 miles). One of the boats started to get carried back to the start due to the high tide moving in along with the rip currents. Long story short, they will be at their next port by this coming weekend, hopefully!
Regards,
Edd

One of the often overlooked rules (45) in sailboat racing is that you are allowed to anchor. Yes, anchor. If the current is pushing you backward because there isn't enough wind to make progress up the course, you can actually move or stay ahead of your competition by anchoring.
Great series, by the way. I really enjoyed your posts on this, thank you.

Brian,
I'm curious to how far you can travel on the canal; are there locks that allow connections to other areas? I am amazed by things like the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland that enables the portage in a very unique and engineering savvy way...
. Thanks for sharing this!Regards,

Most of the canals have locks, due to the hilly terrain in Britain and there is quite a network meaning you can travel from canal to canal (and indeed on some navigable rivers).

I've travelled by narrowboat on a few canals and also cycled alongside others.
I have a fair selection of photos and could possibly set up a thread to share, and invite others to do so too.
The Falkirk Wheel and also the Anderson Lift are two amazing engineering feats, well worth visiting, if anyone gets the chance.
Thanks for your interest,
regards,
Brian.
