Mike being Mike, he started finding out exactly what was what, finding out how and why things work, looking in every nook and cranny - an aircraft engineer by trade, it's in his nature to 'poke around' as I call it!
We still have an issue with the pen - we are still in our temporary one, until the building work is finished, which entails waiting for the builders to finish for the day and open the bridge so we can get in and out - at the moment the bridge is closed from 7am until 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, so mid week sailing is out of the question mostly, due to offshore strong winds in the afternoon - but we did manage to get a sail in last Wednesday, as there was very little wind at 6pm - so Mike finally got to helm - what a happy person he was after that!
Peter came with us too and he absolutely loved it!
