sorry mate - only fair, les did offer me to crew for him, i accepted, then you offered, i decided to go with you, but it turns out les is short handed - as you have a full crew it makes sense for me to help les out.
i'll buy you a few beers when we get there - i'll try and find you.
thanks again ian, maybe i can crew for you some other time?
Awaiting confirmation from my number 4. He may be called away to do a boat delivery and has promised to let me know by lunchtime tomorrow - so we may be down to 3. I'll post as soon as I know for sure.
Well he's gone and done it! My fourth man is flying out to Portugal tomorrow and doing a boat delivery - I obviously don't pay him enough. So down to three now, therefore a spare berth if anyone's interested.
