Cara of the South - Westward Ho!

Gary O'Grady

Tue 7 Jun 2022 17:10

Happily berthed up now in Mayflower Marina, the start of many an offshore adventures. I was berthed here for the start of the Jester challenge last year. A few rally participants are here already with about 10 more to come. Only met the crew of Blue Pearl so far, a crew of 3 from Scotland. Lots of jobs to do but got a few left, 102 to be precise. Now in Jolly Jacks for dinner.
