When the Egg was launched into the river at Lymington last week, I poured a bottle of fizzy stuff over her ‘bows’ and named her ‘The Exbury Egg’ in homage to Neptune,  keeping the cork and bottle label (signed by the principle partners) as a memento. We also screwed a boat registration number over the port door, so I will now need to carve her name – we are all more than numbers.
