Reasons to be cheerful. Part 3 (part 2)

These are pics from when we took Belgian Ben out. He didn't like it that the spinnaker looks like a Dutch flag!

Rum Race

The sponsor and I took Ben out last night. The course was to take us into the channel where strangely there was no wind so, rather than bobbing aroung in the dark with neither motor nor nav lights waiting for a ferry to bump into us we stayed with the breeze inshore and came home early.

Mikey's Galatea won the rum though so all was well.

We're getting good at the old sailing off and on our mooring in the marina now. Respect in the clubhouse!

When did crowds lose yay and start going whoop?

reasons to be cheerful, part 4

Went out last Saturday with the sponsor and Mike but didnt take any pics. So here's some taken in June on Mike's boat Galatea, built 1910 by the Le Huquets.

I'm the scruffy hairy one, and Mike's the other scruffy hairy one.
