What a week for the Web Team !  Firstly an apology to everyone that was on line on Wed 21 Oct when the web site ground to a halt.  We knew it was going to be a heavy day on the website with all the events going on around the country - but we had underestimated just how heavy it was going to be! 

Just in case you missed it - HMS ILLUSTRIOUS arrived in Liverpool for a 5 day high profile visit to celebrate Fly Navy 100; DEFENDER - the 5th of the T45 Destroyers - was launched in Barrow; it was Trafalgar Day so there was a service in St Pauls Cathedral and various dinners and parades took place throughout the country; and Princess Ann was visiting both HMS SULTAN and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard ! Phew !  All the events were a complete and resounding success - and to find out more take a peek at the stories published on the new pages (RN Live).

 Breeze on at Sail 4 GoldA very intensive period of training has now come to an end and Katrina and I are taking a few well earned days off sailing.  Yesterday we loaded our boat into a container with four other boats to ship to Miami for our winter training and this leaves us boatless until our new one arrives from New Zealand at the end of Nov.
