This was a day of double celebrations not only was Adam’s birthday celebrated in style with a cake baked very kindly by Red watch, but we crossed the line ahead of the other two craft and the relief was apparent on everyone’s faces as we gazed lovingly at the shoreline and everyone’s thoughts were one of relief and a fantastic sense of achievement. We motored into the berthing areas and were met by the launch from the yacht club and Andy Scott, being a fellow matelot proudly handed us the victory bubbly, and what a taste it was, after virtually two weeks without alcohol it was like an angel kissing our tongues. Celebrations went on into the night, some indulging more than others, and as we danced and sang to Tina Turner’s ‘Simply the Best’ we realised yes we are.
