Guests on Board


My brother Paul and Donna met us in Poole, We had spoken earlier in the day by phone and arranged to meet that evening in Poole, but after a hard days sailing with 40 kts of wind, heard 2 maydays on the VHF and sailed from Cowes passing the Needles on route, I had forgotten about our rendez-vous. When just entering the outer harbour and damm glad to be in the shelter of land I spoted a body jumping up and down and waving with great vigor on the shore at the end of a rocky outcrop. Well,I expected to go aground in seconds and threw the boat out to sea again to to save our souls from at least embarassment, when Darragh noticed something familar about our would be saviour.
