Last Tuesday I came into Plymouth. It was great coming there, many people gave me a heroes welcome. I didn't win anything...

Because of the very light weather many Fastnet boats came in very late. Home of Jazz, owned by Dutch friend Maarten Russchen, came in last night. I went out to see him in and finally took his lines in Sutton Harbour, downtown Plymouth, and we had a very late supper with him, his crew Ben and Sharon and Richard from Velocity Girl which is a sister ship to Home of Jazz.

Now, Saturday afternoon, I finally left Plymouth and am heading for Dartmouth. I hope to see Peter Crowther, who also did the ostar. He holds the record for having done the most ostars (9?) and was in his fourth decade of doing it!!

Next week Saturday, August 22, I intend to be in Amsterdam. In the morning, I will be in the Sixhaven, and would like to invite anyone interested on board for a cup of coffee and a chat! Hope to see many!

Bart
