PS - can I have your return cabin? Then I won't have to put up with Gibson

I'm going down to the engine room, just so I don't have to listen to Nick talking about golf.

We got soaked on the Friday but made it to the hotel eventually. Perfect location for Omaha Beach and within reach of all the historic bits. I don't think there's anything we don't know about D-Day now. You get a real sense of the scale of the assault when you drive around that region.

It was most enjoyable - if a bit wet from time to tim
- I arrived in my daily driver much later that originally planned (22.50) at the hotel due to an unfortunate encounter shortly after leaving home in the dark and pouring rain on Friday morning with a RSJ off-cut (never saw it M'lud!) that destroyed both offside tyres and alloys on my UK car which caused me to miss the morning ferry - I made the 14.30 ferry with 8 minutes to spare having been 'low loadered' to Reading for two new tyres and one alloy to be repaired (one was a complete write off!)
Sir Nick kindly chauffeured me as his passenger for Saturday & Sunday which was most enjoyable - had 2 excellent meals locally in Arromanches and ate a lot of oysters!!

Re: Normandy Landings, 16-19 September 2016
Thanks for the update guys ..
Sounds like you all enjoyed it despite the weather ..
Sorry about the encounter with that metal - That must have scared the lining daylights out of you - assuming you didn't see it
Hopefully insurance will come good ..
