Having done their preparation for the Puffin Island Race, ( Finding the start line, and maxing out on carbs the day before) the crew got there (and back!) in one piece, and saw more Puffins than the locals had seen all season!
Alison checked out the club, Richard the oars, Dee shepherded the boat, and Pete made sure he was listening when they told us that, if we forgot to turn left at Puffin Island, we would need to stop for provisions at the Isle of Man! Once back, Pete and Rich checked we were in the correct bar and reviewed the race results. Note:- not even a class award of a wooden spoon!!! Meanies!
Me, well I’d been round the course the previous day so I just had a snooze in the bow position - as no one else could see me (the cox was too busy working out which rocks (and seals) to avoid! I hope the others didn’t notice!
There should be appropriate photos attached to this but at the moment I cannot see them in my photo selector, let’s try again………
