| Of course, if
you have the money, you could own your own yacht on
Windermere and, like so many other owners, become a
jetty-based sailor and visit it twice or three times
a year! Alternatively,
you can visit beautiful Bowness, meet up with your
superb host, John Haworth, board his luxury yacht
and be treated to four hours of sailing and eating
for a fraction of the cost and get much more enjoyment
to boot!
That’s exactly what my family
and myself did on a Saturday evening in late spring
2008.
We met Captain John at the Ship
in Bowness and were led the few yards to the marina
where we boarded his beautiful yacht. Once out in
the middle of Windermere, we cut the engine and set
sail. Oh! The peace!
There is nowhere on earth quite
like the peace of Windermere on a balmy evening under
sail.
We chatted and enjoyed a glass
of wine (or two!) before mooring in a secluded part
of this vast stretch of water, whereupon Captain John
becomes chef and host John and cooks up a superb meal
with some very good wines and we enjoy the convivial
atmosphere of dining aboard a luxury yacht without
the tedium of having to wash up and sail ourselves
back.
A splendid evening and four hours
of your life has gone as if a mere few minutes! –
but what enjoyment.
We will certainly be going back.
It’s like having your own
yacht but with no strings (or ropes) attached (if
you will pardon the pun!)
Well done John, God Bless you and
all who sail in your lovely vessel!
