The first day of the Round Britain Experience is coming to a close! The group met yesterday and enjoyed a lovely champagne luncheon and met one another for the first time. Guests were invited and suddenly the boat felt most spacious as everyone left!
This gave us the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with the boat and "bond" with one another.
The evening soon arrived and we retreated to The Dickens Inn to have our first (non-champagne) meal together! Let me introduce everyone....

| Firstly - we have Chris. A lovely lady who lives in Bristol. She teaches maths and promises to help me with the mathematical aspects of navigations (yes Chris, you did promise that!) I promise to take a better photo of you very soon! |
 |
| This is Peter - he is married to Chris. They both live in Bristol. He teaches at the University there with people with Aspergers Syndrome. He looks like a proper sailor - wears all the stripey tops and all that! |
 |
| Hmmm... Well, what can I say? This photo says it all - this is our skipper for this leg - Duncan, just out of the Navy (he blagged his way in there!) looks like a skipper with his ruddy complexion and sarcastic expression n'all!) |
 |
| Well - this is Greta - she isnt actually part of the RBE but was the only good looking thing around the table (apart from me of course - but no one took my photo!) She was our gorgeous waitress at the Dickens Inn! |

| Departing St Katherine Lock |
 |
| Francesca and Dot - my daughter and surrogate daughter respectively come to wave us off - posh send off for a posh boat and posh crew! |
 |
| I love this picture - and apparently, Peter doesnt like his photo taken - but he looks so much like a sailor already, it would be a shame not to photograph him! |
 |
| Meet Mike - hidden depths here! Quiet waters running deep and all that! Chris and I are jealous of his lip colour! An interesting guy who has walked more miles than he has sailed it seems! |
 |
| The shopping list! |
 |
| There is a serious aspect to this trip - apparently, we are all learning to be yacht masters! Here Duncan demonstrates the checks we need to make to our life jackets (he has photogenic hands........which is more than I can say for the rest of him!) |
 |
| I think Duncan shouldn't have shown us the whistle! |
 |
| THE RBE! How lucky am I! |
 |
Apparently, Im the 1st person to tell John he is photogenic! I point the camera at him and he looks entirely natural. It must be all those weddings he has been to - you see, he is a retired vicar, wonderful sense of humour and a cracking laugh (even if it does take him a tad longer to get the rude jokes!)  |

| A very natural looking photo of a crew around a shopping trolley......... |
