Court Short

We were just meandering along the sea front when Claire's beady eye spied a familiar looking yacht at anchor in the harbour!   We went to the end of the pier and hollered and waved, eventually attracting Vicky's attention.  They then leapt in their dinghy and rowed ashore for a quick catch up.  We arranged to […]

Jon has stolen a march on us!  He is the first of the PWRCC to leave on his adventures.  We hope to meet up with him in the Cape Verde Islands.    We'll miss him ... who's going to supervise all the updates on Ocean Rainbow?  Bon Voyage!   Jon's blog
