Well over two years ago I sent Yachting Monthly an article discussing what goes on in a salt marsh creek yacht club’s work party: very often the yachting press covers the good deeds of ‘club officers’, but it is rare, if unknown, for the guys (boys and girls) who do what is needed to make the club operate…

So, I wrote about it and the result has been a guest column!

The biography of me has been intermixed with a lady though … I wrote to YM and said, ‘I know I’m on medication for my prostate cancer, but hadn’t realised I’d changed sex … and my wife can assure you that all is in order!’ The editor said they’ll get it right next time…

It provided a good laugh for the guys and gals in my club’s work party: they nicknamed be ‘Nicola’!
