Friends of UHURU caption competition

We are still motoring with no wind and it’s getting vey boring, we’re having to devise more games of amusement.

Well what a great response to the caption competition, kept us all amused for hours. We had the final judging last night over dinner. And the results are as follows:

                                                                                           

First overall by one vote only and no family voting:

“Since he had left Beans a few weeks before, Steve's chopper was getting a little rusty......” Eileen Penn

Second:
“Lucy’s new boyfriend regrets accepting Steve’s invitation to crew on a secluded leg of the trip” Piers Cadman

Third:
"Anyone else wanna try touching big red?!" Karen Murphy

However, there was a LATE entry from my mother, which we all agreed deserved an Honorary mention.

  “WELL MUM, YOU DID SAY THAT YOU WANTED TO BE BURIED AT SEA”   Love Mum xx (Mum, what will people think!)
