Last year when researching some information on Restive with the UK Maritime Library I noted a photography competition. Having just stayed on the boat in Sandy Bay and taken a dawn sunrise photo I sent it in - and never gave it a second thought. Some-time while slipping the boat in December 2017, I came home exhausted and deflated that this huge workload was getting on top of me. It was a great surprise and spirit lifter to find out my photo was selected for the National Historic Ships UK Calendar. There are some spectacular images in the calendar (I didn't win a category) but I am thrilled to receive this.
