Pandas in the BVI's

Just before Easter, Nigel received a telephone
call...interesting in itself, since more often than not, his phone is dead and
needs recharging. The call was from Andrew Gordon, owner of Sigma 38
"Pandanova" aka "Panda", who was travelling out with the family, Anna, Atalanta
and Alexander (letters to A. Gordon must stimulate some familial interraction!)
to the BVI's for a couple of weeks warm weather sailing. "Would it be possible
to meet up" Nigel replied "it would be rude not to" and so it
transpired.
The rendezvous eventually took place on Peter
Island, in Great Bay. Lots of Sigma catching up, news first hand of the
incident and Annas broken wrist incurred at the annual Sigma Prizegiving
dinner. Also great wonder at the inate proficiency of the little Gordons in the
water, snorkelling et al...
And so it can be claimed, this Easter at least,
there are indeed Pandas in the BVI's
