I’m just back from a perfectly wonderful weekend with

nodbear spent pouring over huge piles of Indefatigable logs and musters and heaps of letters from sundry captains, middies and their mums! Not only that, but on Saturday evening we had a celebratory dinner for

nodbear and

esmerelda_t’s joint birthday, an event of unparalleled fangirly extravagance, the highlight of which was

esmerelda_t and I getting to meet

mylodon for the first time :)

nodbear had thought of everything, right down to boat shaped confetti on the table, blue and gold balloons and after dinner mints featuring our favourite Indyboys. The only thing that could have topped the evening would have been the appearance of Lord Exmouth himself or Jamie Bamber in towel and fore-and-aft hat! Other highlights of the weekend include chilled fino in the afternoon, strolling by the Thames, lots of champagne, squeeing over boaty books, dressing for dinner and lamb for Sunday lunch (shame Bartholomew couldn’t make it…) Huge thanks also to

mylodon for finding Indefatigable Midshipman Henry Hart after

nodbear and I had so carelessly lost him!
