I am looking out of my window over the front garden, the sky is blue and the sun is peeking over the rooftops. It is time to clear up the leaves that are falling from the Hornbeam. November has also seen the delivery of a Lovesail dog, Milo a 10-week old Dalmatian puppy.
The Volvo Ocean Race was formally known as the Whitbread Round the World Race, and is a yacht race around the world.

On first hearing about this sailboat show, I thought it was a little one and couldn’t find any figures for size and visitor numbers. Together with the Powerboat show which runs from Thursday 11th to Sunday 14th October, they will have visitors of around 100,000, not bad for a “little one”.
Here are some of the statistics for the Southampton Boat Show. Average visitor numbers over 120,000 over 10 days, 47,000 square meters of exhibition space, 400+ boats on the 2km of pontoons, and over £1000 average spend per head (excluding the spend on Boats) – that’s a lot of rope!
