Monday 22 May
This morning Mate’s mother drove a carful of enthusiastic visitors to see me, and my crew apparently. They all loved me and made lots of positive comments about how beautiful I am, and my attractive colour scheme, and the gentleman of the party really wants to come sailing – he knows about boats, has sailed others in the past, and knows a good thing when he sees it…obviously.
They all strolled across to The Mulberry on the marina site for lunch, enjoying very good service, and a lovely pinot noir, before returning to my sunny cockpit for homemade dessert and coffee.
