Today we have been charging around - the crew clearing up after yesterday's Rona II party and then preparing for the crew parade, the mate in the engine room adjusting cooling hoses and the skipper touring media studios - media tart that he is!
The first trophy came after a highly entertaining crew parade. The crew were fully "neon-ed up" with bright facepaint and wearing our C&C-sponsored hoodies, and proceeded to wreak havoc by singing "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" to unsuspecting female police and posing for equally unsuspecting Dubliners unwise enough to point cameras towards them. The trophy was for being the youngest crew - Rona II has the lowest average age across the entire fleet, at 20.2 years, and won a very nice plaque!
The second was won at the crew party held at Dublin Greyhound Stadium, when honorary Rona II dog "Clare Yank" won, resulting in the Rona II crew getting a photo taken of them out on the track with "their" greyhound.
Tomorrow we leave for our UK homes, leaving our home for the last two weeks - Rona II. She's looked after us well in some very heavy weather - now she will look after the girls who will return her to the Hamble.
Until next time...
