When boating you often see the token mutt aboard but young unaccompanied ladies with a couple of dogs and a couple of young children almost breaks the bounds of decency and decorum when it comes to the yachting and boating fraternity.
Aboard Thames Falcon 2, there were Harrison and Halley, Bobby and Sally and Sam and Tina. Now if the readers had to guess who was who, we are pretty sure that they would have not come up with the correct answer. Harrison and Haley were the children, Bobby and Sally were the doggies and the two girls were Tina and Sam. Despite the fact that they had been boating in heavy rain for a couple of days, the girls were in good humour and we shared several laughs with them.
The Captain asked about the boy's name of Harrison and, his mum Sally said that she had always been a big fan of Harrison Ford and Sam told us that Haley was named after Haley Mills .The Captain had thought that the boy had been named after one of his heroes, the late George Harrison of Beatle fame and the Cabin Boy misheard the name and thought that the girl had been named after Halleys comet. Poor old Halley – he only comes once every seventy six years or so.
