Blue Ventures Open Day

---

To keep the locals up to speed with what BV are doing they hold an open day every 6 months and invite everyone to visit and learn about what the strange westerners spend all their time doing!

Well, I think they learnt something - we certainly all had a lot of fun!

Geoff organised a beach clean up (and boy did it need it) and thankfully nobody got Hep A, B or dysentry from the experience although it was a distinct possibility.

Lexa arranged a sandcastle competition producing her trademark dragon to get the ideas flowing, although the locals hardly needed any encouragement and made some amazing sculptures.

The day was finished with a play and singing from the local childrens club (led by Bic) and 'added to' by us lot singing a few verses of 'Let me be your salty dog' - I think the crowd enjoyed it!!??!
