Swallow at the Nancy Blacket AGM, and taking Nancy to Holland

Swallow is not the original, but was used in the 1974 film.

After a weekend of gales and sheared alternator bolt, we tried to sail on Monday pm but the sea state was too rough. On Tuesday we sailed for an hour or so then the wind dropped completely so we had to motor-sail (i.e. motor) across :(
