Whitsun 2020
Whitsun 2020. Mass of Pentecost Sunday according to the Use of Sarum with sung Officium, Sequence and Communion.
Whitsun Vigil 2020
Here is my Whitsun Vigil according to the Use of Sarum but with the biblical readings in English.
Informal Conference for Pentecost
I have put on this informal conference outside the liturgy, since I will not be preaching at the recorded Vigil or the Mass of Whitsun Day. The theme is habitual with me, the emphasis on the esoteric dimension of Christianity … Continue reading

Sunday in the Octave of the Ascension 2020

First Sail of 2020
At long last, after a long and nasty winter and the lockdown back-to-back, I had my first sail of this year in my little Tabur 320. I made a series of short videos and they are joined together. Veules les … Continue reading
More on the Huntingford Helm Impeder
Here is a video I have just made about the Huntingford Helm Impeder as described on page 58 of Roger Barnes’ “The Dinghy Cruising Companion”. I have already written on this subject on Huntingford Helm Impeder. A video is a … Continue reading
Fifth Sunday of Easter
Fifth Sunday after Easter following the Use of Sarum – except for the idiots riding motorcycles at high speed during the ablutions and causing the dogs to bark! Perhaps it serves to show the incarnation of our liturgical life in … Continue reading
