Fastnet - Fatalities ** ** far too many in that race, the adverse tides/autumnal gales makes it the toughest amateur offshore race (personal experience some 45 years ago, crew.)
Only as a crew member, bit of muscle on one of the winches. Was on a BP Sailing Club boat (48 footer)Had a 25ft Sadler (yacht) back in the day. Nice boat & could sail it single handed. Furthest distance offshore...Dover - Wissant (Plas de Calais) Daylight only and terrifying, so much seriously heavy traffic. Only once !! Foundation - Federation
My Dad spent virtually all his career working for BP in Llandarcy. He played soccer a few times for BP U.K. v BP Germany Talking of my family - my Sister has - within the last hour - told me that earlier this afternoon she has been diagnosed with an inoperable and incurable cancerous liver tumour..... She’s seeing a Consultant in Southampton on Monday..... Infatuated - Fault
Oh no, what terrible, terrible news. Words fail me, after such a dreadful year and now this. Probably a good time to close the thread. Sincere thoughts are with you and your family Have the best evening you can
Morning Nick and PH Thanks again for your kind thoughts Nick! Today’s theme is words that contain the random letters OUB Fault - Double
