Yes a pity, we use to watch the Bouley Bay event when we were out there on an engineering visit, caught it twice, we were lucky enough that the company paid for the Bouley Bay Hotel (the start line) which has the best dining room view in the world and magnificent food.
Our station was at Trinity so a couple of minutes away in the Avis.
Budster

would have come so missing him.
P.S. Revival will be here soon enough for us to meet up.
