Last night in the club and the Pope

Regaled about sailing upwind using a compass (Tactic) to help respond to the shifts. I can`t believe the drivel you have to listen to in that place. We`re driving an Ajax 23ft open keel boat with 3 up, it takes me all my time to avoid falling over board in anything like a sea so the prospect of noting a compass bearing every 30 seconds is ludicrous. As for having the crew barking out the readings, well, I would rather listen to 100 repeats of "Songs Of  Praise"

Talking of which the POPE has commenced his descent on Edinburgh, welcome to Britain and sorry about the weather, must be a bit of a shock after Rome.
