Sandra Blackmore - a die hard Provi fan tells all…

While we were all eating breakfast Morag told us abu the day sailors coming on board. Shonagh and Issy decided not to sail with us for the da. The pull for some reltail shoppin gin Dartmouth and Salcombe was just too great.

Yet another day of sunshine, light winds and plenty of sail ”training” for the Parade of Sail/race on Sunday. Two of the day sailors were young Sea Cadets - who Martin took charge of. It was interesting to watch them blossom as the day went on. Steve must have had his eye on one of them as a future crew member.

While out sailing we came across “Wheels on Water” and this prompted Martin to lead the singing of a sea shanty “Bound for South Australia” It was captured on Facebook so worth a watch/ listen.
