Bob Fisher, the Dean of nautical journalists, turns 70 today.
Your humble narrator has had the great pleasure of sharing press offices at a number of events with Bob since first meeting him at the ISAF Conference in Hamburg in 1995. He is The Master. As for hitting the big 7-0, here is what Bob had to say earlier this week :
"Seven - O is not really old. I had drinks yesterday after racing with a friend from the past who celebrated his EIGHT - O earlier in the week and he made me feel young. It's all a matter of relativity, like the 99-year old I interviewed last week - he had spoken with Sir Thomas Lipton on the lawn of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club soon after he joined, back in 1930, and he was full of reminiscences of the period."
