So after a weekend of plains, trains and automobiles we finally have a mast back on the boat and doesn't it look sexy!

It was a bit of an ordeal. Fly up to london... rent a van...drive down south for 3 hours...pick up mast...drive back up...van breaks down...wait for 3 hours on the side of the motorway...almost miss flight...land in Malta on Sunday at 0300 hours and............no luggage....no mast!

Sorry sir it must be lost in Gatwick.

I understand but you do realise it is valuable equipment which I paid extra for just to make sure there were no slip ups.

Really? How valuable?

Erm about €4,600

Oh thats unfortunate, I hope they find it. You'll just have to wait and see...Goodnight.

So yes we're pretty happy to have the mast safely back on the boat and ready for our next training session!
