Ann returned from a walk and commented that a group of boats on a cruise with Motor Boats Monthly magazine had arrived in the marina and one of them was a Broom that looked very similar to our own boat. I later went for a walk to see the boats and discovered that the Broom that Ann had mentioned not only looked like our boat it also had the same name! We knew that the previous owner of Jomima, who had kept her on the East coast, had traded our boat in for a new Broom 39. What we did not know was that they had also named their new boat Jomima and we certainly did not expect to come across her In Falmouth – which is a long way from the east coast. I introduced Ann and I to them and they very kindly showed us around Jomima Mk2. She is a lovely boat and, being very new, was in excellent condition. However later, when they saw Jomima Mk1, we were told off for not having her as clean as when they had owned her (our excuse was that she was immaculate three weeks ago but a plane going into Exeter airport dumped fuel over the sea and a number of boats in Brixham, including ours!).
