Lucy and I got on fine in the Azores and I was pleased to prove to Little Ray that I was'nt yet past it. (google "entrants Jester Challenge 2008" for start of saga).

I enjoyed myself immensely, so I did the usual old man thing and bought a racier model. Her That Must Be Obeyed hates Fluffy which is proof enough to me that Figaros must be good boats.

I took Fluffy up to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Holland last season and she behaved very well, making fast passages in unbelievable discomfort. I have since bolted an Aries on the back, which though very heavy I expect to work well.

Without being told, She worked out that I may be entering the Jester to Rhode Island. I'm looking forwards to it, and wish everybody a safe and enjoyable passage.
