One of the Algoa Bay Yacht Club’s long standing members, Graham Wentworth, who basically grew up and learned to sail at the club in Port Elizabeth is attending the ABYC Week Regatta taking place from 1 to 4 May 2014.
Now Graham was ragged a bit – mainly by sailing wives I believe – around the teak reef last night about his tardiness in popping the question to long term First Mate, Marian Galloway.
After the skippers meeting this morning, Tony Bailes asked the assembled sailors to please sit tight whilst we waited for; “Captain Jack Sparrow from Slumtown Express to make his appearance to make an announcement of great import!”
Calling Marian up, Graham went down on one knee and popped the question – there was a collective sigh of anticipation as his beloved paused whilst she contemplated her answer……. which was Yes – to the great delight of the sailors witnessing the occasion.
Now – was that a bit of a tear I saw in your eye, Graham?
