"there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats....Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it....you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular...."And we did have a very pleasant weekend messing about in boats and doing nothing in particular. We really have to thank Strine for taking on the major task of organising the boats and ourselves - she did a magnificent job. Thanks also to all the cooks, galley hands, cocktail bartenders and swabbers of the decks - we certainly ate and drank well!
Here are a few stills from the forthcoming motion picture production Pirates of the Tweed.
