At the Brasserie du Quercorb yesterday the AudeShantymen proudly modelled their new tops and logos specifically designed by Bob Gard and professionally created by his wife Julie-Ann. A full Crew then entertained the crowd assembled to watch the England vs Wales rugby international in the Six Nations. Excellently crafted beers ensured that spirits remained high - whatever the result.
A milestone event in another way for Bob - pictured here fourth from the left. Having been a conscientious new hand in training for many a month he was promoted to full rating and, as befits a Bristol boy, will adopt the crew name "Plimsoll": not for being "a good sole" or "down at heel"but in recognition of one of that maritime city's most famous nautical sons.
