Back in port from foreign lands, consuming nautical beasts
So lost boys and girls unite on deck
For salt is in the air and in the blood
09.30 for a modest 35 to 40 miles
Thanks to James - good route out to Buntingford via Walkern and Westmill.
Started as six with four finishing the route. Good to finally meet Anthony and also see Nathan again. I ended up with 50miles door to door from home at about 16s. Good recovery ride after yesterday's beasting.

Dutchie should be back on board to reacquaint himself with his old shipmates.
Shiver me timbers and get knotted!

Lost boys to show true colours
Hoist your mizzen and set sail
For glory comes once in life
Let the journey begin

Still on the grog at 2 bells. Luvverly. Make sure you don't drink and ride me hearties.
Might slow me up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully sea sickness will have gone by Sunday
All hands to your pumps on the Black Pig. Prepare to repel all boarders.

Just about detoxed by tea time
I blame the Sargent

All at sea today. Failure to read each other's flag messages meant the crew were scattered to the 4 winds.
Waited in Ports Willian & Wymondley for the flagship Black Pig to sail past....and waited...and waited....
...in the end another solo voyage south: Hitchin Wymondley Willian Wymondly Willian Wymondley (this was dull!) Preston Whitwell Kimpton Claggy Bottom (!) Bendish Lilley Hexton Pirton Holwell Hitchin 36 miles @ 17mph.
Off to Greece to rescue their economy and tackle some mountainous seas on mountain bikes. Shiver me timbers.
See you soon

Good ride today with a recovery gang working well together
