The unsinkable Zebedee :)

Would we ever see Zeb again???? Would Enda be overcome by wanderlust and just head off towards the horizon with our beloved boat?

Mind you ...only two jerricans of fuel on board as usual

On the way out he spied a much better boat (genuine 'Langer' all the way from RCYC (Crosser )

We didn't get any pictures of the sailboats sailing because that RIB we were on just went too fast

And here he is again bringing her safely home...he looked like he was enjoying himself anyways ...not many opportunities for ribbing in Prague I think he said.
Anyone want to sponsor him back across the Atlantic in Zebedee?
