Mirelle\'s birthday

I suppose the invitation to Mirelle's birthday party on Wednesday is no longer extant (I couldn't go any way) but this is just to wish the old boat many more years to come and good wishes to her owner too!

Another happy birthday wish from me, sorry to have lost his input and knowledge, remember him and not the horseplay that drove him off.

Mirelle is a very fine and beautiful vessel indeed - Happy Birthday!
By the way, Andrew is now posting on the Small Boat Club Forum if anyone would like to catch up on news of Mirelle - the SBC can be found at http://smallboatclub.proboards98.com/index.cgi

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

No dont think I'll do that, he left, even after numerous people tried to stop him, I'll not run to him, even if his input was very welcome.

Happy Birtdhay Indeed!

Mirelle will be 70 if I have got my arithmatic correct. There is another Deben based yacht, Crystal - a stunning Fred Shepherd yawl design who is 80 this year. Roach is a mere babe at 60 next year!

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

Haven't been here in a while.

Yes, Crystal is indeed 80 this year and, although I'm not in a position to be holding the gala celebrations I intended, she has got a few presents to welcome her into her 8th decade, such as installed shore power (probably for the first time) and a few coats of Coelan. She's also made a few new friends this year, which is always nice.

She's currently hanging out at the Tidemill in Woodbridge, but will be moving to Pin Mill quite shortly. This is her:

If you're nearby, go and have a chat with her.

Her ninth decade surely?

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

Er... yes... sorry! I never get that sort of stuff right.

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

Come and say hello when you turn up at Pin Mill - Bryher is just down stream from the hard. I will endeavour not to give you the same Pin Mill welcome as we did Roach when we drank all the owner's fine gin and then had to beg some petrol for the outboard to get home!

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

What Mukes does not mention is that he very kindly dinghied over to welcome Roach with a bottle of wine! Who get's that sort of welcome on a new mooring? Thanks!

 

[Mukes]

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

You obviously haven't tasted the wine yet.

Re: Mirelle\'s birthday

I will do, thanks!
