The bank holiday weekend was one long treat.
To start with; Sharon, Stephen, Ines and Baby Amara, drove down drom London to spend the weekend with us.
It was also the weekend of the Ocean Cruising Club's ' West Country Meet', which comprised dinner at the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club on the Saturday night, followed by a lunch time raft up on the Fal River on Sunday and then dinner at the Helford River Sailing Club on the Monday night.
Sharon and Co stayed until Monday lunchtime when we returned to Falmouth and had a goodbye lunch. After their departure, we sailed the few miles round to the Helford for the dinner which was excellent. It was followed by a spot of Magic laid on by John, one of the local OCC members. He performed a most entertaining and convincing Levitation trick, of which alas, I have no photograpic evidence.
On Tuesday it was back round to Falmouth to get Agustin on his train to London and then Stanstead. It turned out he had a very disrupted journey but he did make his flight and is now safely back in Gran Canaria.
That evening, Mick had a most enjoyable time with an American couple Reinhart and Melinda; OCC members whom we had met briefly at the Sunday raft-up. They are exploring Northern Europe by boat and are well into their second year here. They re-kindled my interest in the possibility of cruising the Eastern seaboard of the USA and Canada.
