I disappeared for a week.It was intentional though I had hoped to leave some signs of life while I was gone!But life rushed me out the door, to the airport and on a surprisingly full plane from Israel to Turkey. I travelled to join the 4th International Women's Sailing Week, a phenomenal initiative of the Turkish conceived and run 'Women's Sailing School' which brings together Women from all over the world to celebrate the beauty of the region and the joy of sailing - women only. Traditionally sailing is quite a macho sport where women are often left aside while the men take over the running of the boat. However, Neslihan Karayel (her surname is the Turkish for the 'north west wind' which happily we experienced quite a few times during the week as it filled our sails and kept us busy on board!) has created a place where women can learn to sail and qualify as skippers, a place where we can celebrate the many faces of women's strength and empowerment . This week was witness to such wonderful display!I had been warned by many that I was crazy to attempt to travel to Turkey during these turbulent times. I paid no heed to these warnings, having attended the Women's Flotilla last...more

Roger and Rosemary Preen opened Calcutt Boats for business in 1973 offering fibreglass cruisers with outboard motors for hire. At the time, the business had no road access and very little in the way of facilities for their hirers.Thirty seven years later the business is very different.Calcutt Boats is accessed via a quiet B road off the A425 Southam to Daventry road at Napton On The Hill. A half mile long private lane leads to Calcutt Boats and adjoining Napton reservoir. The initial impression on entering the main gates is of space and tranquillity. To either side of the drive are three fields with SSSI status (Site of Scientific Importance) because of the density of wild grasses and flowersThe willow and birch lined drive swings left to the slipway and two marinas and straight ahead to reception, engineering workshop, wharf and hire fleet. Reception has a small chandlery and a summer only curiosity shop. The wharf provides diesel, gas, coal and pump out services for moorers and passing boat on the Grand Union canal. There is also an Elsan disposal point and a British Waterways water point above the lock.The area around the wharf is a little untidy. There is a paint tent at one...more
