I went for a sail today in my 52 year old dinghy Kittiwake to try out a few mods I've done and also to play with my GPS. I was interested how far I actually travel when sailing into the wind and also how fast I go. This is the outcome - A 10 mile cruise down the lake and back at an average of 2.8 mph and a maximum of 5.6 mph.
Derwent water is a great lake to explore I think I've counted nine islands so far as well as a handfull of rocks that become exposed when the water level is low, the biggest being Swarf Stones where the Cormorants live.
