The Reunion

Saturday morning saw us praying for some sunshine, it was miserable! Lil Jo & Mr Ruks arrived, and we made a trip to Asda for Pims and nibbles. Dave arrived soon after, quickly followed by Stu & Rach and finally Prav.

The Pims seemed to work and the Sun made an appearance! After the first bottle of Pims had been consumed we all made for Weatherspoons for lunch, we even managed to get a table outside in the sunshine!

Dessert saw us back on the boat for more drinks and Birthday cake, with Kat almost burning down the boat due to the high number of candles required! After consuming a slab of chocolate cake, yet another bottle of Pims and the bottle of Shamps kindly provided by Stu & Rach we thought it best that we take a stroll around the breakwater.



With waves coming over the wall, great fun was had trying to stay dry! We were even rewarded with the show of an unfortunate yacht running aground and blowing up its engine at the entrace of Brighton marina.

Finally, it was time to say goodbye. What can I say, it was great spending the day with all my friends especially as its going to be a while before I do it again. Hopefully, with fair winds I will be meeting up with Prav and Stu & Rach in Sept / Oct.
Thankyou everyone for coming down to Brighton, you all really made my birthday special.
