We arrived sfely around 13.30 at the Haven to be met first by Jim and Mary Stevenson in their very luxurious tender, just by the training bank, followed by many flag waving friends at the Haven, where it was quite busy with the ferry leaving and fishing boats drifting around. Then we met a sand carrying vessel giving lots of toots as a stupid fishing boat wouldn't get out of the way. Soon sorted by the pilot boat at high speed. Then ten or more marine fast boats returning from Weymouth where they had been providing Olympic security. Next was our friends Rob and Wendy, also returning from Olympic duty having "borrowed" an Olympic RIB to come and meet us.
We were soon tied up again on our berth in PYC since when many of you have sent congratulations.
Olly and family were waiting at home with a bottle of FIZZZ and we are now off to Gill and Ian's for more food and we hope more FIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
I will post a couple of pics and hope to do a blog summary when I have more time and help with computer skills.
Glad you made it - can't wait to speak to you and hear some more about your trip.
