Getting ready for Rookie training at Christchurch tomorrow…

Weather not looking marvellous, clearly wet weather clothing needed…. James and the Crew meeting at Steamers Point at 7.00am… and I’m meeting at HQ at the same time so wont be there till 8am… just looked at weather forecast and it’s showing a Sun and rain… someone must be reading my mind… the powers above are shining on us guys!!

wouldn't it be nice if the weather was like this....

James new boat Shhhhh…

…. 21.40 Thursday night and still at work; the season has started, Pizza take-away for dinner with a nice glass of orange squash. Security man pleased to see us, he

Don't tell him you've seen it! actually looks far nicer in real life!

comes in and has a chat with us. Sophie taught me now how to use this site – promise to keep comments polite – just sneaked a picture of James new boat its lovely.

From Hampshire to Cornwall

Fiona and Phil are finally back from Cornwall with updates from the west country…

Stop 1 – Lusty Glaze and a meeting with Jeremy Griffiths who has confirmed full safety cover for our Watergate event including Jetski’s..  The steep walk back to the car park with what felt like 100′s of steps nearly killed Fiona to the point she could hardly breathe.

Stop 2 – Watergate Bay, time  to check out the beach and surf and maybe a bite to eat.

Remember to bring change for the Car Park at Watergate

Accommodation for Officials - opposite the beach

Upstairs is Restaurant 'Fifteen' and below is the Academy Cafe - both very nice. If you want a take away its just along the side and its called Venus...

just in case you forget your wet-suits...

lovely.............. sun sea and surf!

Menu at the Academy Cafe... you will need to book

Inside the Academy Cafe.... I had Crab Spaghetti with chilli and lime Phil had the House Burger and he said that was scrumptious

After lunch and the clock ticking as they needed to head for Falmouth. Last stop was to check on the Watergate Hotel’s conference room that will be acting as our on-line media center and sponsors chilling area… what a hotel!! it’s having a renovation at present but nearly finished – its wonderful…  Fiona commented ‘Shame I was with Phil it would be a wonderful place for a week-end away’.

The new bar area over looking the sea

other end of the bar

A Gin and Tonic... lime not lemon please loads of ice and that chair on the right hand-side outside.... I Wish!!

Stop 3 – Quick stop to pick Milly up from Falmouth Uni… as always not ready so Phil and Fiona had to watch her thread the loom. Have to say fantastic facilities an amazing building!

Site visit to Falmouth venue....

Phil and Fiona meet Sean Liam and Martyn.... the start of the new A Team!!! What this space

Gylly Restaurant.... more delicious food! By the time they come back they will be having Green Peace chasing them....

more of the production crew for Watergate and Falmouth events... Milly, Mike and Henry; Martyn you have already met in the previous photo. (Fiona thinks Henry is lovely and clearly wants him to go out with Milly!)

Hotel right by Gylly Beach - 5 m to pits, even Fiona could cope with that!
