The transition from slumber to a state of awakeness pains me dearly, but we know the days are short this time of year and we need to be on it with the tides, wind direction and peak of the swell.
Jamie Hancock is the fourth and final member of our crew. Despite the fact he’s still recovering from a broken leg, the allure of a road trip with the boys to a ‘new’ patch of Scottish coastline too tempting to decline.
He seems snuggled in his bed, but not for long once Timo is up and about strutting round the room in his pink pants, cracking jokes and revving up the team.
Jamie is back in the straps now, but has to hold back on his sailing while his foot returns to full strength.
In the meantime, as ‘Mini George’ is a killer video producer, Timo and Ross have deployed him on filming duties, plus (as he’s failed spectacularly in the past. Ed) he’s also appointed head of logistics for the trip, with his negation skills scoring us some great bargains, although Timo reckons it is his ‘puppy dog’ eyes that are the deal breaker.
