...
Well,
much has happened in the last year; getting married to Alison,
moving house, and finally in the purchase of a new vessel. "Green
Flash" is a Freedom 35 and has been bought specifically for long
distance sailing. It was sad to have to say goodbye to Amorelle, the
vessel that has served me well for seven years, and which has seen
in my ownership in excess of 10,000 miles under the keel and what
totals to be in the region of 330 days onboard. I will have many
happy memories of the boat, and still rate the Frances 26 as one of
the finest small cruising boats afloat.
Accordingly I shall not be renewing my membership of the Victoria
Shadow Association this year, but wish you and all the members best
wishes and good sailing for the future. If however any of you find
us in harbour somewhere, please come aboard for a drink, we'll be
pleased to see you.
Best
Wishes,
Derrick |
