A Fine Weekend with Special
Friends   We had a nice time at the Ocean
Cruising Club get together and it was quite something to meet Laura, back to
Beez for a few sherbets, then Chris and Steve settled on Beez, we settled in the
office. After a nice lay-in and an unhealthy fry-up it was fun to watch the two men. Get any captains together and blue jobs are
always chewed over. This morning was the solar panel/charger/balance business.
The day shot by in seconds.
 Rod and Mary
organised us to be at our boatyard BBQ at five and there we were. After our
first meal and a sneaky bar of chocolate magically produced by Mary, the sun
went in and the chippy night air took us all back to Beez. Mary is seen having
to make things up with Nemo. Somehow he had connected
with her rear end and ended not only a bit squadged but heartily and emotionally
wounded. Note dog has leapt up on the shelf well out of harms way......... Good
fun watching the making up process and the promises from Mary not to use Nemo or
any of the boys as a cushion ever again. Peace reigned once
more.
 Proper pose
– Rod, Bear, Steve, Chris and Mary with the happy Nemo.......
   Sunday morning. What better way to
start the day than with dippy eggs and Marmite toast – hold the Marmite, yuk. Oh really, some people. How
anyone can profess to hating the sticky black heaven but also purports to loving
Twiglets...........it’s the same stuff. No it’s very
different......... Anyhoooo true to Bear, he didn’t fail with an egg event. The only one, seven perfect. Meant to be, meant to be.
Once again the day
flew by in seconds. Rod and Brenda popped in and we all trooped up to the yacht
club. Rod and Mary were already in place and we were soon joined by Fran and
Richard – Red Boat, last seen here last year. Al – Irie II, his brother Phil –
Silhouette, both just arrived in, last seen in Bora Bora just heading off to
Hawaii. There was a lady singing and the atmosphere was really
good.
The highlight of the weekend just had
to be when Beds, Bernie and Claude shot out of the office at the chance to meet
the special mascot of Scott-Free...............
 The Boys meet Chocolate
Moose.
Today our
weekend continued. After a day full of pre-launch jobs we were invited to a
delicious roast chicken supper on Sheer Tenacity, she was in on the yard slip
for the fitting of her new staysail furler. Very smart she is looking, very
seaworthy. Mary has done a sterling job with her new canvas covers and we
road-tested the conservatory, marvellous. Rod had a blue list just as long as
Bear. We were supposed to teach backgammon but as always get boaties together
and soon it was time to wend our way home. Sheer Tenacity is off to her buoy on
the morrow and in a couple of days she is off to the islands for a holiday –
jealous Grrrrrr Grrrrrr
indeed.
ALL IN ALL LAUGHTER IS THE
BEST
GREAT FUN, GREAT
