Nothing to do with cycling ...

... but perhaps it is more fun at this time of the year!

You may know that we are not expecting Wendy-Jane to be around at the Cobham RBL on December 7th. Along with Maureen and Bob she is one of the people who serves tea and coffee and generally looks after us at the RBL.

Anyway, she is currently sailing across the Atlantic with her husband Peter. For reasons we don't know they were to sail with about 70 other vessels as part of the ARC+ Trans-Atlantic event but were detained in port at Las Palmas until a couple of days ago. So, after a very late start they are heading out on their own but unlike the other yachts which all called in at Mindelo on São Vicente, Cape Verde, the Cherish is heading directly across to St Lucia non-stop.

That's it, the little turquoise boat, West of the Canaries
