At the boat show

Had some nice chats at the boat show and bought some rope. Nice people at the Cruising Association (including Brian & Lorna of course), at the Westerly Owners Association (Alan & Norma Banks), Howard & Sue with good advice on our propeller and some random people here and there.

It turns out that the owners of the first Rayner boat and more or less the last Westerly - Norma Ann - live 12 miles apart and keep their boats about the same distance apart!

Looked over the new Cornish Crabber 26. Apart from the fact that she's a shoal draft boat with a centre board she looks like Robinetta stretched 4' amidships. I think the Commander would have loved her. The down side is that she sells for 10 times the price we paid for Robinetta.
