A very good friend of mine, and big Pilot Cutter fan Dora Kemp was recently diagnosed with acute Leukaemia. BOO! To cheer herself up a bit she asked all of her friends to take a selfie of themselves eating a lemon. Well she's had a good response - even including the BBC Breakfast team - but we can do better right? It's really pretty simple: Get a lemon, bite deep and take a picture of your face as you grimace. Then go to https://www.facebook.com/LemonfacesforLeukaemia and post the picture for Dora to look at and chuckle over. Go on - it'll only take a minute and it'll give her something to look forward to apart from lumbar punctures and chemo. |

endless high pressure in the forecast our two sojourns to the Scilly
promised great things… |

The St Georges Trophy traditionally heralds the beginning of the lovely Spring weather that we seem to be having these days (3 out of the previous 4 regattas being held in glorious sunshine) so as St George's Day approached we peered hopefully at the weather forecasts to divine what we had in store... |

White sandy beaches and gently waving palm trees - all set against a rolling ocean. Are we cruising around the Med, holidaying in the Canaries or cast away on a Caribbean island? No, we’re much closer to home in the wonderful Isles of Scilly. Loved and feared in almost equal measure by sailors throughout history we explore the "Favoured Isles"...
