And they’re off! Well some are at least. Great to attend that great community event that is the RLYS Annual Seagull race.
Not long now to this premier maritime community event! Hopefully see you there. Last year’s theme was ABBA. Race starts to rival the spectacle and excitement of Sail GP event even!
One to keep an eye out for from a FB post facebook.com/share/p/1DLt6xD… Stolen from Ivybridge area.

This beautiful footage of a young Cornish man returning home to Polperro, Cornwall after working on ships during World War 2 in 1944 is the type of heart melting content that Hollywood have only ever been able to imitate. The more I watch, the more my heart and brain overload with thought and feelings. ⏳️💔

So last night I was out with our Roads Policing Team (RPT) and was amazed at the in car technology that now assists them in their endeavours. Mind you last traffic car I was in was a Granada Mk2! They were called the Motor Patrol Department (MPD) back then.
Something a little different for me this evening. Out and about ashore supporting the Road Policing Team on Operation Limit the annual Drink/Drug Driving prevention & detection initiative.
