Cracking sail down to Guernsey on my little boat 'A Roamer of Alderney' I just love the lifestyle of Alderney, How on your two days off that you can jump on your boat and go to another island for the night, and it to only cost £15 for the harbour fee!

Being on the sea has always been a major part of my lifestyle living on Alderney. I am either in it or on it nearly every day. Although I spend a lot of my time flying places or even sailing places to photograph weddings in the UK and the rest of the channel islands, I find the week days I am on the water more and I take only really photos of the sea and boats.

Last week we had a training sailing ship called the 'Tenacious' sail into Braye Harbour- Alderney and I got the following photographs from the little rib owned by one of Alderney's restaurants 'The Georgian House' who I used to and sometimes still do work for.

As some of you may know the fog in Alderney can come in think and fast. I was down working on the boat the other day when within 10 minutes the fog had turned the visibility from 3 miles to 20 feet.

Lucky this time it stayed around for half a hour and then it was gone.
These photos taken on my Fujifilm x100s which I luckily had with me on the boat.

I dont know how much you may know of my little catamaran. A Roamer was built by my parents 25 years ago here in Alderney. after 15 years of use she was taken out the water and left to sit and rot for the last 10 years. Last year I went to inspect the damage. The main structural beam which holds it all together. gave way under by foot. I have spent the last year re-building her and she is a good as new!

This has been transport for me to get to the UK and around the Channel Islands to photograph weddings. What fun! Here is a little video I made Sailing from Poole to Alderney

Been doing a lot of sailing recently. This trip I sailed Max the owner of this Pahi 42 to Dielette after doing repairs to his boat over the winter. All the footage shot with a GoPro which is one of the first times I have properly used it. Got some more videos which I will be uploading shortly.

Never seen lightning like this lightning storm which passed by Alderney on the 7th June. In the past any lightning I have seen might be once every 10 minutes, this was once every 5 seconds and never heard any thunder. was Strange

Force 10 winds and very heavy snow. I am trying to get into the habit of taking my camera everywhere I go. You never know when there is a cool shot and it is always very annoying when you dont have your camera. This week Alderney and the rest of the Channel islands got battered with strong winds and snow. These are my photographs from the few days of storm on the island.

It was one of those evenings where I had no idea what to do with myself, I didn't want to sit in front of the television and do nothing. So I set myself the task of taking a photograph of the night sky. To make the photograph more exciting you have to add something into the foreground. In the middle of one of the fields in Alderney is this old rusty machine. I am not sure what exactly. So I sat up in the field in the cold and took this photograph, which, I am extremely happy with my efforts!

Although the GoPro is mainly used for videos, as a small, light, compact camera, I took it down to one of Alderney's cliff beaches. After climbing down a cliff for a good 10-15 minutes, you come across a rope, which from here on-You have to abseil down the rest of the cliff to get to the beach. By the time you get to the bottom, it is Beautiful! Sand Sun and the warmth of being sheltered by such a massive cliff, no strange family keeping you from your piece while relaxing. You have the beach to yourself! From where I stand- It is Paradise!
