It was ship ahoy for five Goodgym folk this sunny Saturday morning.

We were all on board at the Pioneer Sailing Trust as we battened down the hatches after Storm Eunice's attempt to steer the ships off course! A quick cuppa courtesy of Phil and we launched into action.

Captain Mike dutifully delegated our missions which included bailing rainwater out of the boats, fixing tarpaulin, sweeping the warehouse and organising cupboards. He certainly ran a tight ship.

It was all hands on deck and none of us were down in the doldrums as the mission was plain sailing. Andy was back for his second task this week and taught us some nautical knots and it was marvelous to see Denise and have a catch up.

Before we knew it, it was time to abandon ship and become landlubbers again.

With Ella in the wheelhouse, the run report was always going to find safe harbour. 😉
