I must start with an apology that this newsletter is well overdue. My excuse is that I finally wrapped up my parents’ estate (I was executor) in April and was immediately pitched into moving house myself. Thirty years worth of my stuff and the residue of two generations before has taken some sorting out. The good news is that I am settled in my new home which is 5 minutes drive away from Medusa. An unexpected surprise early this year was a letter from the Second Sea Lord thanking the Medusa team for supporting the Royal Navy, in particular the cadet forces.
Barry Ford decided this spring that it was time to retire from Medusa. He has been with us for 26 years during which time he has served as engineer, mate and cox’n.
Features:
- Barry Ford
- The year so far
- Medusa History
Again, apologies for the lateness of this newsletter but hope the content worth the wait. Medusa is looking very smart and visitors are astounded that she is 82 years old. All this is down to a wonderful team of volunteers who spend a great deal of time looking after her without which she would have gone the way of most of her sisters.
