RETIREMENT

This a picture of an old friend in retirement from his favoured hobby of sailing. He's had many a boat during his 84 years and this one was his last which he built and was very sad to see it go.  Its a John Welsford designed "Janette" for those who are technically minded - beautifully built by the person who has the same name as that on the boat - except the name on the boat is Gaelic for his surname. His name is Leon Paterson and the boat name is also Paterson(Gaelic) = 'Phaedirean'
