Smile Pond Crossing to Bermuda

Thanks Coff.
In reply to AA's boat trip I thought I'd put on some pics from a while back when a few ascoteers took a racing yacht across the pond to Bermuda. Some of these faces you may know but the voyage was enhanced in many ways by the inclusion of an Air Trafficker from Coningsby. She was ship's cook and could dish up a 3 course meal in a force 5. As you can see from the "survival at sea" physique of the mate, P*** F**** she fed us well. The posed sextant shot of self was taken on land so it was steady.
We arrived in Bermuda just after the QEll and poet radio asked us to let the steamer through first. We tied up at St Georges and reported to BA at the airport as a herc crew awaiting recovery by VC10 and they put us in the Palmetto Bay on full contract for a week or so.
I bet the view of C******'s bikini beats AA's akimbo shorts shot.
Great trip
