PM Sat 17th. Everyone went to the end of event prizegiving do this evening. A pretty well-managed affair with lots of talks and thank-yous to all and sundry. Also prizewinners and trophies in many categories throughout the 250 strong fleet. Sadly RAPAREE did not win a prize although we did aquit ourselves very well indeed. Of the 139 boats in the cruising class we came in at 61, so less than half way down. Not bad for one of the smaller and older boats in the fleet. Pretty pleased all in all.
Boat still chaoticaly full of jobs and junk. Haven't yet managed to escape for a full island tourist day off as too much to do before next phase.
Tootle-pip for now

Congratulations Mike! 61st seems pretty damb good to me.
ReplyDeleteAs well as making it across that fairly large pond I am well impressed you managed to hit the right island, although I do hear those Tom tom thingys are pretty good 'turn right out of harbour, continue straight for 2500 miles, turn right into harbour, you have reached your destination.'
As many of your friends have already said not bad for an old Cruiser.
Well done mate and congrats to the crew too, sounds like a good job done by all.
Have a fantastic Christmas and New year mate and go steady on the old Mount Gay.
Best wishes,

Well done Moikel!! Wish I was there. News is we will be moving to Isle of Wight in March!!! I hope you have a great Christmas in the warmth. I love hot and sunny Christmases. Cold winters are for the birds! Daddy wants to crew back and I think it would be great. Have a rum for the Isle of Wight bound Buggies (ex. Bedford – woohooo!!!)
