I did not make it in the end.
But I did see a rib go past on the telly, but I did not know whether it was Ribbet or my replacement, as I was able to return the flag so someone could take my place.
Mind you Queeny has left the deck half way through. Don't blame her, there is only so many times you can pretend to be interested in watching a yacht with a white hull and white sails go past.
