Dear Readers,

 

Two days to go!

 

Carrick has absorbed vast quantities of supplies and more is on the way.

 

Weather has been cool and wet.

 

We have been to the owners dinner, the crews dinner and the masked ball and the dinghy park with the occasional lemonade at the Sailors Bar. Notwithstanding, we are also getting the final preparations done.

 

Allden and Roger and Jeremy have been maintaining a high level of esprit de corps with wit and humour which has plumbed already deep depths.
