With the day almost upon him, Captain "Lucky" Simon Woolf was soon to be, and for the rest of his life, masterfully commanded. In order to send him forth on this voyage into the unknown, we set sail out to sea from Southampton.

Woolfy, correctly attired for the day witnessed Philipedies III take The Great Escape on the solent triangular circuit and helped by Mount Gay, the visitation of Pete's parents, not forgetting that you can't thumb your thumber, a brief dip, local Tonsley Totty recruits and lashings of Eton Mess, the boy Woolf came through unscathed but with a sore head.
