Air fares home for those that wish to be at home/ I will as usual be staying aboard keeping an eye on the workmen.
Dock timing is being worked out by Tom as we speak.

Gentlemen:: I think I did suggest awhile ago that we dry dock in Lerwick, for old times sake.
I am sorry that I am announcing my retirement as Commodore -- The last week of my Chemo/radiation therapy, and the ensuing week and a half really set me back and I am only just starting to feel a little better. I have another CT scan on Nov 21, followed by an operation on Dec 5th with a 2 week hospitalisation. More follow up treatments aft that. I don't think i'll be in any kind of shape to fulfil my duties.
May I suggest Farmer John as the new Commodore -- he has the seniority ( and an in on supplies of potent potables) plus he has the bridge experience. Dartskipper would remain as Captain?
It has been a pleasure serving you all these past few years, and I will probably drop in from time to time. I will endeavour to keep you posted on my condition.
With all sincerity,
Tom.
