The Orwell was superb on Saturday

Ben at the helm of an Ocean 72, no bow thruster either. Bought her back in onto the linear into a 75 ft gap
I don't think Ben appreciated the fact I was reducing it down to 75' either, and that we were not moving, even after all your gesticulation !
I was told to stay put, the situation was out of my hands.
Have to say, I/we did enjoy the looks on all your faces. {:-{>

Absolutely, credit where its due. 35', just before his arrival was enough for me, the worse part is backing out ! :-(
