Raise a glass to RK-J

[Greenwichman]

Whatever we think of the crusty old salt he really has set a seamanship standard to admire.

Finished third today, after a sprint around the world, wrestling with technology and always challenging the leaderboard.

And you can think all of that and not even remember he is going on 69......

Any excuse for a drink, but RK-J is worth excusing.

I agree, RKJ a hero for his age!


Where in the Blackwater BTW, I live at the Basin?

Al.

Another toast from a Blackwater sailor. Imagine how well he could have done in a well prepared boat.

Hear Hear, a true hero

 

[Bajansailor]

He was my hero when I first read 'A World Of My Own' when I was about 12 years old, and he still is today 30+ years later.

> and always challenging the leaderboard.<

Well, the bottom of the leaderboard, anyway.

 

[Rabbie]

I concur. What a man!.

 

[Greenwichman]

Tollesbury, just behind where you launched your RIB .. !

 

[onenyala]

RJK's achievement makes the likes of Beckham, Rooney etcs antics pale into insignificance !

 

[Duffer]

Likewise! A tremendous achievement.
