Most of my youth was spent at sea, sailing and dinghy racing from Cramond Boat Club.
Here's a selection of photos taken across the years of me out on the water one way or another.
Canoeing
Getting some time on the river in a Sea Scout kayak.
Low Tide
Here I am standing on a couple of lifting buoys waiting for the tide to come in.
Motoring
Our family yacht – a modest little Hurley 20, with Mirror dinghy in tow. Oxcars Lighthouse is in the background.
At the Helm
Making the most of a breeze at the helm of the club wayfarer.
Getting Wet
Capsize drill with my big sister, in the River Almond.
Dinghy Racing
Out on the water, waiting for the start of a race, with Phil in his 420.
