Departure day and all assembling at Elaine and Mikes for pre holiday libation. Mike checking luggage with spring gauge. Mary worried about weight rings BRISTOL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT to check weight allowance. Starts distributing various bits to others luggage.
Taxi to BIA in plenty of time. BIA lives up to its reputation and we use half the holiday checking in. Flight 2 3/4 hours went well and rep was at airport to meet us. 40 minute drive to Primosten to meet lead crew. James the skipper looks like Joe E Brown, Bev the hostee looks like Queen Victoria and James the engineer looks irresponsible!
We are allocated 'Pegasus' and Rog Rog 'Draco'. Swopped with RR as he had worked on the Pegasus engine for many years. This caused some confusion in the week. There are 11 boats in the flotilla. The 37 footers are new and a pleasure to board. Mary, Mike and Elaine unpack. Elaine complaining that there were not enough coat hangers. It was pointed out that "THIS A BOAT ELAINE,NOT A BLOODY HOTEL!"
Meal in the Marina, no beer for me.
