As a non-sailor, can I add a belated note to the 'Ellen Mac' debate. I have just been in hospital, and on the morning she sailed into Falmouth the whole ward was glued to their bedside screens, including the nurses, some of whom were in tears. I know this doesn't prove anything from a strict logical point of view, but who cares? 3 Million cheers for her. If the Falmouth entry wasn't an 'AR moment' then what is?
