Unfortunately we’ve had to give up with our blogspot site, blogger is just too difficult with an IPad. So this is our first post using WordPress.
We are still in Falmouth having joined the flotilla escorting Robin Knox- Johnston across the Golden Globe race finishing line for the second time in 50 years.
As Lacerta is still out of action with a split sump pump pipe we hitched a ride on ‘Maunie’, a Vancouver 38 deck saloon cutter with our new found friends, Dianne and Graham, who we met at the Cruising Association buffet lunch at the Chain Locker yesterday. They have now left for St Mawes and to make their way back to Dartmouth while we have paid another visit to the Chain Locker for dinner and free WiFi!

While at the CA lunch yesterday Debbie met up with a lady called Gina and discovered that she is Ken Falcon’s partner. Debbie first met Ken when Fireball sailing at Chew Valley Lake and more recently at Laser events as Ken was principal race officer for the Laser association for many years. Gina and Ken are also hoping to cruise the West Coast of Ireland although a few weeks after we do.
