Hi Everybody,

We managed somehow to lose our ensign on the last, stormy night through the Bay of Biscay and have been walking around La Coruna since trying to find a replacement until we realised that we already had one, thanks to the fantastic gift by the Strickleton family. The strange thing is we haven’t seen Daddy since though….
