OH, THE GLAMOUR! SEE PAGE 70
Most people assume that the life of a yachting journalist
is a glamorous one. Occasionally, very occasionally, it
is – perhaps a new boat test somewhere warm. Far more
often, when we leave the keyboard, it’s a blustery pontoon
to which we head, and this is what we did this month. For
your enlightenment, dear reader, we have been out testing
coastal waterproofs, finding the ones that will really do the
job. I can’t deny that chucking water over each other
was a little fun, but we did so methodically and
thoroughly. It wasn’t particularly glamourous though.
