Boat Spotter

It’s been very blowy. But that didn’t stop me from heading over to the yard in the early afternoon to meet up with young Z (accompanied by his Mum). The lad is an extreme boat nerd and he wanted to inspect the boat. Every inch of it. And then all the boats in the yard - a surprising number of which he seemed to know, just from Handbooks. That’s young lads for you.
I’d also the sad task of lowering the flag - one of the members, K.Knox, had died the previous day - after a short illness as is commonly reported.
And along the road NMacL has allowed her story of being scammed out of £17k to be published in the Times. Poor old soul at the age of 77 thinking that a young thing in their thirties from the States was interested in her. A salutory tale that most people would be too embarrassed to own up about.
Anyway, the day ended with the most wonderful steaks being served up. A visitor arrives tomorrow…..
