As a postscript to the ARC we have just heard -and we are very proud to tell you- that Marconi Sailing Club have awarded us the Seamanship trophy for 2010. Not only that but additionally (amazingly?!) MSC have awarded us the Mamgu Trophy for the best club blog of 2010.
We always said it was going round corners and parking that are the difficult bits. Straight lines are easy. Therefore these awards are doubly meaningful and deeply appreciated by all of us crew. Especially considering our shakedown was spent in the Green Man at Bradwell (arrgghh...we was storm-bound me dears!).
Equally no doubt we will always be reminded of our scrubbing-post escapade (prime time and witnessed by the entire cadet fleet and camping ensemble), which nearly scuppered the adventure before it began and appropriately bears out the difficulties of parking.
Remember, if at first you don't succeed.....
And so, our thanks to Marconi SC from Happy Morning and her crew.
