Dear Julie

Please thank Pete for his targeted training and patience with Eamonn and me last Friday; we got home exhausted but enthusiastic.

We took our Freeman 27 out yesterday, in convoy with another Freeman, and struggled to get off the pontoon (remembered about a stern spring, but initially forgot to go in reverse!) but then had a great trip up to Eel Pie Island for lunch then back on the tide.  Kept hearing “controlled crashes” and “make a plan” in our ears, and advice to take it slowly or just stop.  Now to start on rope practice; am determined to crack my throws.

Thanks and regards
Linda and Eamonn
