I don’t like to sound vain, but I’m so enjoying all the attention that’s being paid to me by all the handsome Spanish sailors. So many stop and pay me complements and everyone reads my name with the most sexy accent, nearly always followed by uh huh! I am now Brrrindabaya Uh Huh and I think it rather suits me. I frequently get groups peering at my front in admiration. Simon says they can look but they’d better keep their hands off my bow sprit and snatch blocks!

   Apparently I’m very shortly to have a major pampering session before a detailed health check. I feel so special. I’ll be glad of the spruce up too as I’ve heard we’ll be doing lots of partying and I’ll be dressed to perfection. It all sounds most exciting.
