50 Year Reunion


We met at King Edward's School Witley boarding school in 1959, both in second form, then again in College in Brighton and set off in our 1950's ex-army Land Rover to Istanbul non-stop, and later, in 1975 we partnered and bought Ellicat, a Iroquois class catamaran and restored the boat together, the long weekends of hard work rewarded by Joanne's delicious Sunday roast dinners before our long haul home to Cheltenham. A swift pint or two in the pub at Portsmouth late in September 2009 with John and Joanne brings back many memories of boarding school life, boat projects, fishing, traveling to far flung places, riding on John's Vespa and in the Isetta, sailing to destinations along the Normandy and Brittany coasts, and many other vibrant and rewarding aspects of life! Check out the scenes from those restless years.
