Dave's 1st Post

The Spider T (Humber Sloop) & The Reaper (Fifie)
at the Arbroath Seafest 2008
Claire has made me write this blog using the excuse that my name is on the signature too. I'm sure it's just that she can't think of anything to write today, not something that happens often.
Spent the weekend at the Arbroath Seafest which didn't get off to a very good start. Somehow the organiser thought we didn't want them to provide a market stall, leaving me with nowhere to display our wares for the day. Thankfully I'm better at improvising than I am at blogging so after a whistlestop tour of a local DIY store I managed to make a stall which got me through the day. Luckily it didn't rain, but I did suffer a bit of sunburn. Sunday was much less stressful being armed with our usual kit, there is a lot to be said for self sufficiency. And just as well as the sun from Saturday was replaced with clouds all day and rain later in the afternoon making me glad to be under cover.
The pic above is of the boats in Arbroath Harbour on Sunday, we were too busy to take a closer look.
Claire will resume normal blog service soon, she's never lost for words for too long, and it will take me weeks to think of anything interesting to write.
