The first BCYA Rally was a huge success. Boats turned up from several yacht clubs Thornbury YC boats probably sailed the furthest to attend.

Berthing was tight requiring rafting up but as it was free overnight Saturday we cant complain about that. Roger (Nokomis) had his work cut out ensuring only Rally entrants used the berths allocated to us.

The weather was fantastic saturday but terrible Sunday morning,I didnt envy those who had a long sail home.

The highlight for me was the party aboard the Lightship,Food wine beer and a chance for a yarn with everyone.

Hopefully it will turn into an annual event.Many thanks from us to Suzanne and the other organizers.

We returned to our mooring before turning in as the cockpit tent works better head to wind.

I'm so glad this worked out well and the pics look great. Unfortunately we just missed-out arriving back in Cardiff Bay late yesterday evening after another aborted attempt at an extended cruise westwards! Planned to come over today, but the weather...!!! It's like a Sunday in autumn. So well done organisers and participants. If we haven't emigrated by next summer we'll make a point of being there.
