It’s back to back parties in Grand Anse!   After an afternoon of snorkelling we went ashore for a Red and White themed party at our favourite restaurant (excellent Wifi) and joined the throng to dance to some great local music suitably attired in red and white.   Then this morning Jon (Hecla) arrived with fresh bread […]

A party with a difference this year as the alternative option to black tie was fancy dress – and we certainly got some ‘fancy’ dressing!   A really fun evening started with the arrival of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, swiftly followed by the Jesters who were trying to escape from the clutches of a bunch of pirates […]

Lovely to have Mark and Sue Blackmore on board - James will miss his visits to the Savages during the 'season' but we do have a couple of Terry Culpin's paintings to remind us of this unique club while we are away.  

It's true and below is the proof ... Swallow (formerly known on this blog as 'No Name') is a bad influence.   Our planning meeting consisted of an informative discussion on cameras (hopefully Swallow will email links and things!), a short discussion on insurance, a short discussion on sprayhoods,  and an even shorter discussion on departure […]

Jean Golding took a line ashore as we moored in L'Aber Wrach and the next thing we knew we were invited on board 'Classic Dream' for tea.   This was shortly followed by drinks on board when Nikki and Peter from 'Seahey' were also invited!

Marianne & Ian Inskip came across from Goonhaven, Rick and Gill Rickards from St Mawes in their RIB and Rupert Smith just happened to tip up single-handed from the Exe and moor two yachts behind us ....   all came on board for tea!    Adrian then departed for home leaving Claire to take on his role as […]

After a visit to Victory, what better way to celebrate than with dinner at Boisdale with eldest son and favourite daughter-in-law!   Great Day even if it wasn't spent sailing!

Fantastic to see Duncan and Cathy's new home ...... and this is what I call a Galley!
