My dear dear Boyd,
I am afraid that I will not be able to attend to wish you bon voyage and fare thee well as much as I would like to, as I would have to back in Aberaeron speaking welsh by eight the following morning.
That said, be assured that my best wishes and prayers go with you on this adventure.
Steffan
PS is there a ferry from Iran to Dubai? That would make a great shed meet, ride Europe to Turkey, Iran and then ferry to Boyd's shed meet, mind you the usual fare of sausage and bacon might prove a problem.
