So here we were at the seaside for our half day. Ice cream paddling chips you know the routine.However as we crossed the river we saw a familiar sign "Trafalgar Yacht Services". We had contacted them by email last year trying to retrieve the original bill of sail for the boat we have Blithe Spirit. You must have these papers before you go abroad or else pay the VAT again at todays rates. The lady who works in the Trafalgar Office was a girl when Westerly Yachts went bust and thankfully she retreived various drawers of important documents from decades ago - including our papers from 1981. We were so surprised to see this was where they hang out - Les walked in and asked for Caroline, who was the only person there..... It was good to be able to thank her for saving us hundreds of pounds should we ever take the boat to Spain.
