I was going to post this in the lounge, but decided it was far too boaty for that lot to digest 
This summer I met a chap in a 26ft Stella, a lovely boat. We ended up playing cat and mouse up the coast after an 86 singlehanded convoy from Wells to Bridlington. Every so often he'd set off before me, and thinking I'd probably never see him again, end up mooring next to him a few days and miles up the east coast. Scarborough, just missed him at Hartlepool, then Eyemouth, and finally Arbroath, where we convoyed again to Stonehaven.
Anyway, he was fantastic company and kept me on my toes with his passage planning. In all, it was jolly nice to have met him.
This morning, I opened my mail to find some A4 photographs of Kudu at sea, and a two page hand written letter. I haven't received one of those in many, many years. It's so much nicer to receive a penned letter. It's made my day actually.
