Hello from me
Just like to say a quick hello by way of introduction.
I was told about this site by Shirley Simpkins at the Plymouth PB event early this month. It's great to find a so many boat fanatics all in one place, so to speak.
See you at Torquay

Hi Paul
Nice to hear from you. Loved the crossing; moral is, don't take crew.
Watch out for zee 2 chaps who are after a postman.
Keep up the beat.
Don't forget to raise your glass to the great JB, 31st of this month (birthday)
