The first of my Fanatic Followers for the Clipper race is my favourite Aunt who lives in Kynsna, South Africa. Lexie Elliott is 93 on 4th Jan 07, she still rides her bike around Leisure Island where she lives and for longer trips takes the car. She has a very impressive sailing pedigree having been brought up in Flushing, opposite Falmouth.
Lexie totally ignores her age and is an example to everyone. She regularly plays sets on the accordion at functions, her speciality being her own arrangement of ‘Around the World in 8 minutes’. This usually last a lot longer than 8 minutes, depending what she remembers to include. Lexie has the ability to both enjoy and remember jokes, some of which would not be repeatable on this site. She has attended various starts and finishes of the earlier Clipper races and is an active member of the Kynsna Yacht Club.
Once met, never forgotten!
