If the LBT is first of all about boats, it is second of all about community, of which Monday night dinner is a cornerstone.  In recent years there have been several stalwarts in the kitchen: Kate, Jilly, Hans and Ros.  Jilly announced last Monday that it is time to pass her wooden spoon on to somebody new.  There were cries of woe and despair from below the salt, but it seems her mind is made up.  On behalf of all the LBT this column says thank you Jilly, and our tummies say thanks for the memories too.

We need somebody (or several somebodies) to receive that spoon: what an honor.  To join the kitchen crew speak to Kate, Jilly or Hans.
