This one started to bug me as I couldn't remember which yacht or junk it was, and thus traced, via the tinterweb, and rang the bloke, who had invited me out to sail with him the day we saw "the junk". I haven't spoken to him for over 30 years. He was initially taken aback, but then said that he wasn't surprised "you haven't changed a bit" he said laughing at my nerdish persistence, but, anyway we ended up chatting for over an hour. He believes it was Blondie Hasler's Jester (owned by somebody else by then) that we saw. Not a real junk but a famous yacht nonetheless. I see, sadly, that she went to Davey Jones's locker some time back now. << Or perhaps not. Jester could have been China Blue, or any one of a number of clones... I am won't be able to sleep now..>>TheGreenGoblin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 11:09 am
Is the Dukling deep sea going? I remember there was a junk that used to sail around the world. I went down to the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town to see it.
"Blondie" Hasler...
Keep bringing these subjects up EA01. I will finally be able to contact all those lost friends, mates and acquaintances!

Re: Photos of Everybody
Yours truly and the late Mrs R in medieval costume designed & made by Mrs R. Photo taken in the early 1980s when we were members of the Scarborough branch of the Richard III Society, on our way to a medieval banquet in the Merchant Venturers' Hall, York organised by the York branch of the Society.
Costumes were created by Mrs R who scoured charity shops for miles around, seeking old curtains, fur and fabric of any sort suitable for the purpose; her hats were based upon metal coat hangers. I found those medieval cloaks to be quite warm, even in a North Yorkshire winter.

Should you both have been transported back to the fourteen hundreds,you would of had no problems of actually being taken for nobility in those costumes.

Life may not be the party you hoped for, but while you're here, you may as well dance.
