HMS Daring

Bit late with this update as the race was a few weeks ago now - but the Royal Navy paid us a visit (heard that Martin was looking for a few good men probably...).

Here's Chilly Snr looking deliberately nonchalant whilst flying the spinnaker, to impress the sailors.And here is the ship itself, Guernsey is its 'affiliated port' so it shows up here a fair bit. Call me old fashioned but I prefer my destroyers to be a bit more impressive: it only has one piddly little gun, looks like it is made out of tonka toy boats and has a silly bobble hat on. Ridiculous.

The race - we came third or something.
