Cowes Week and the first day’s racing of 2010 begins! No finer start could there be than last Sunday, with the Panerai British Classic Yacht Club Regatta, now in its ninth year, bringing together 52 of some of the most beautiful vintage sailing craft and their crews for a full week of racing!

Wow Factor!  This year’s Monaco Boat Show is set to be the greatest yet! September is always a month big on glam Diary entries.

Red tape news! Always good to hear that some rules can be relaxed when it’s obvious they surely need to be! The only paperwork I like when it comes to sailing is the Captain’s Log!

I was gratified to hear that Malta has been awarded a new seasonal 120 berth marina concession at Kalkara creek within Grand Harbour.

British Grand Prix at Silverstone last weekend – but I couldn’t make it. The nearest marina would be nowhere in sight, to be perfectly honest with you!

Well, it’s that time of year rapidly approaching again – Cowes Week, at the end of this month. It’s a busy time on the Solent as the Westward Cup was being hotly contested during the past week.

This is maybe more Melacina’s cup of tea (or Krug flute!) but came across little press stories of so called celebs seen getting away from it all on big boats this week, like England footballer, Wayne Rooney, of all people!

Spain seems to be flavour of the moment! Just got back from Valencia Grand Prix to see Rafael Nadal win Wimbledon - and I hear that Spain are through to the World Cup semis!

Recovering from Valencia Grand Prix 2010! What with Lewis Hamilton stopping to take calls on his mobile right in front of ‘Indian Empress’ - Force India owner, Vijay Mallya’s 300 foot plus monster megayacht- which dominated the harbour again this year, and returning to London to the same 30 degrees of heat as when I left Valencia, just had to lie down in a darkened room, for a few moments mind!
