*Juggler* is a Halcyon 23 sailing boat. Click here to see extracts from the narrative emerging out of a three hundred mile summer cruise in the Bristol Channel.

Here are the contents, in ten sections, of the complete story.

  • Chapter One, in which Juggler heads to the sea after 3 years in harbour and starts sinking!
  • Chapter Two, in which Clarissa sails to . . . a shell on Swansea beach.
  • Chapter Three, in which I decide to get home for tea ... one day. Complete with a picture of Ilfracombe.
  • Chapter Four, in which I see my first real Dolphin and find two brass ones in a charity shop.
  • Chapter Five, in which I'm hungry for a teacake . . . and a waitresses smile!
  • Chapter Six, in which Clarissa sees Caldy Island from the cafe' Candy overlooking Carmarthen Bay.
  • Chapter Seven, in which I become conversant with Celtic Motor Spares and Cresswell Quay.
  • Chapter Eight, in which I return to Tenby twice, once by sail and once on foot.
  • Chapter Nine, in which I dream of being a sea captain.
  • Chapter Ten, Cardiff for coal and Bristol for coffee, and, Aslan sees me home.
