I'll have a go, it might need to be sailed across to where they let me build the bonfire Wink

Hi all,
Still not sure if I can make this or not - work is being very difficult. Assuming I can, and can find a crew, my boat is 22 years old this year, and I've owned it for 12 of those. Does that qualify me for a perseverance prize, given the overwhelming evidence of the last 12 years that I might be out of my depth?
No FD? No Comment!

Yeah right.... Give up the beer, babychams for you then. We'll know that you've made it when when you swap to the irish team
Everything I say is my opinion, honest
