A few words from John....
Thursday 4th June
Tony & Terry on watch from 06:00 - 09:00 saw a
pod of dolphins creaming along the bowsand sides of Renegade. Later on Terry
Terry heard a chirping and thought the GPS alarm had gone off, but it
turned out to be a small bird in the cockpit under the spray hood. It eventually
sat on Tonys shoulder and then his hat before flying off.The bird
appreciated the ride and left Tony a present on
his favourite hat. Soon after this Tonys best hat blew away amidst much
swearing from Tony and laughter from Terry.
We arrived Bayona marina to a great welcome from
the club staff and the other crews who had arrived earlier. We were all
feeling a bit knackered so decided to have a beer or two which was a mistake as
the skipper wanted the boat dressed overall. We eventully managed to string
all the flags together and then discovered we had them upside down.
Oh well - undo and start again (without another beer
!)
Went for a meal in the evening and met crews
of Andiamo (the Essex boys) and the crew from Ben More. All had a good
time
