No Longer Gruncle Now aka Huncle as I celebrate @hope_weird_ #surfing #milnerton with @georgie_xx_walsh in #capetown. I am a firm believer in you become what you are referred to. In my case - for many years I was reffered to as 'Gruncle'. In light of my fairly recent lifestyle changes, new lease on life and slow emergence out of years of depression it is now left to me to remove all reminders of those sad years. One of which is to become once again that happy go lucky person I was over 12 … [Read more...] about No Longer Gruncle now Huncle

I pose with a subject for only the THIRD time in my life. The 'lucky person' this time around was David 'Witty' Witt - the skipper of Sun Hung Kai Scallywag taking part in the #volvooceanrace practise race in #capetown AND I got to play skipper after the race all the way back to port. David Kindly enough refused my offer of an appendage in grateful thanks from myself. We came 5th in the Winward Leeward race after two general recalls and a not so pleasing third start.
