Jasmina was delivered in two stages by two different crews. This is stage 1 delivered by:-Stuart Chambers - Admiral (Tweaker and Faffer)
Brian Gale - Bosun (Sex/tant expert)
Steve Taylor - Ancient Mariner (aka spinnaker Steve)
Jane Taylor - Galley Queen and Deck Fluff (de facto Admiral)
Ken Lacey - Cabin Boy (Grinder and G&T phenomenon).
As you can see above, crossing Biscay in October is not for the faint hearted! Went via Brest and Baiona and trip was 1001 miles exactly. Took 36 hours to recover from the session in Baiona (Ken's Gin and tonics) and rounding Cabo da San Vicente at sunset was a delight. Had a furry passenger for a while (little migrating finch) but came a cropper at night sleeping in the genoa sheets during a gybe. You know who you are!
On the right is the full team.Stage 2 to follow.
