A new crew for the good ship

On Sunday we picked up our new crew member Tom 'talk to me' Parsons, son of first mate Rob Parsons but more importantly the first qualified doctor we have had on the good ship. This was a big step forward in both breadth and depth of first aid capability moving from none-whatsoever to ... well, really quite a lot. This meant that we could now suffer major injury on board, happy in the knowledge that expert advice was no more than 28ft away.

We will add Tom to the Team Brimble section in due course

Tom 'talk to me' Parsons. A pleasure to sail with. Note that even on watch
Tom wore his stethoscope so that he was ready for medical
action in the blink of an eye
