What is the Bastia - Tokyo event?
 
Do you know, the sun and heat was glorious, dry not a bit humid or stuffy; wonderful cool breeze. I reckon Penzance could have done with an iceberg to go with the GandTs. Bastia Tokyo is a Paris nautical Festival event, held on the 19th April, I think, to promote Ocean awareness especially of the ice caps and their migration, effects on ocean currents and on global weather patterns. The Manguier is sporting a banner to that effect. I presume she is now on her way from Paris.
 
I m glad to see you had a nice time on the Scillies with lots of good weather and splendid photographic opportunies, Treeve! ::6:
