JennyMorgan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I'd hate to see his boat sinking beneath the waves! https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/st-benet-s-abbey-norfolk-open-air-service-sunday-august-4-1-6192404?fbclid=IwAR3wrD5Aor3eqHJ6EAISzcJPjePtIWjPY9j8uS1pOZ180DYGJqEyzaxQjRA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Pretty sure that he is on Olive this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Equally sure he is not on Albion - lets hope there is a decent breeze so he can get home on time!! The downside of not having any assistance other them there wooden things that clutter the deck up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Last year’s arrival was against tide and wind. A helpful motor cruiser lent a hand I seem to remember. As it was a warm and sunny day no one minded the delay. New Bishop this year I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 If it is Olive, which I am sure it is, her electric motor is really quite good. On Tuesday we motored across Barton head to wind that was mean 25mph gusting 36. Lunched at Gays followed by a lively reach to the Ant with 3 reefs in. The mast was dropped at Paddy's prior to crossing Barton. The reason being it has been calculated that the mast windage area is about the same as a fully rigged Wayfarer. Three reefs Lowering at Paddys 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 I know Olive well, spent much of my formative years aboard, what with the then owner's daughter working for Penthouse and having lots of well formed girly friends! Dear Sally was a legend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Sally was a legend! Often wondered where you were educated Peter! I have always thought that the "hands on" approach is better than the more academic! Those years must have been most "Formative" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I did have to endure the weeds and goody-goods and other nefarious oiks that one encounters in such establishments! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
