Better than a four-leaf clover!

Not one to promote myself, I do seem to be bringing my friends who sail a certain amount of luck these days.  Looking back over photos I think it really started back in 2014 when I “helped”  RCC Sabrina II win the Joe Delf Trophy.
 

A couple of years' later I went on to help RCC Sally gain a top placing in the Cecil Howard Memorial Race. 

Since then I appear to have “assisted” Sally to win the Crystal Ball Trophy (photos taken from Sally)

and Sabrina II, (first photo taken from S II)

Pixie, (photos taken from Pixie)

 

Mystery (me in second photo!)

and latterly Melinda (photos taken on Melinda)

to either win or be among the top three in other races. 

There will come a time when, despite my best efforts and obvious tactical skills 😜, my “lucky charm” effect won't work but I hope to make up for that with some good photos on the day and also hope that no-one is too disappointed! 

My shoes

My shoes won a prize this week!

I have had a pair of Cotton Traders suede slip-on shoes for a number of years and just happened to notice that they were offering a prize for one of their items "which had stood the test of time" so, on impulse, I snapped my old shoes and sent them the photo.

I was quite surprised to learn that my shoes had won and today I received a leather holdall and some "travel accessories" (a luggage weighing thingie, a suitcase locking thingie and one of those neck shaped blow up cushion thingies).

What a shame that I hardly ever travel anywhere, but I doubt Cotton Traders knew that.
