Yes I'll second that, and unless I get sufficient money sent to me I will start posting the photos. I hope CG1 has loads of money! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Yes a great weekend, almost an adventure, and it was lovelly to put some faces to names. A great bunch bar none, my special thanks to Talbot, both Mr and Mrs, who took in a shaken stranger, and fed and watered him as one of their own
Delighted to be able to assist. Sorry tha the breakfasts were not up to TCM's exacting standards, but agree with you that it was a great weekend. We had a superb sail back yarmouth to Gilkicker in less than 2 hours!
Very much agree that Nigel deserves a very BIG vote of thanks. I was particularly impressed by how many people actually turned up considering weather conditions were slightly windy with the odd wave

No wonder we didn't see you I kept a look out on the way back.
I think thanks to Nigel will be ongoing for a few days, I hope it doesn't upset anyone
I have a blue genoa and a white main. The blue was originally the Catalac colour- they had the sails died a specific colour, but there isnt any of that available anymore, so the new main had to be white!
In his perpetual pursuit for adventure we hit every piece of wash at 30/40 knts. at least mother and daughter got wet this time /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I'll second that, great time and great company. Even Nigel didnt mind the teasing!! We love you really!! Had agreat sail back (yes in a Centaur) but arrived to early at Ryde so we did loads of cirlcles and practised our hove-to which is now stored for future use on Blue Moonlight. I think most of the wind today was caused by the crew and skipper of Blue Moonlight inside teh cabin after the wine and beer!! Cheers all and many, many thanks especially Nigel (Well done)
Hi Tome there was another Catalac with the blue sails that creamed past us even with all our sail-tweaking on Blue Moonlight - must put the engine on next time! What a cracking sail back we had to Ryde.
And THANKS from me, brilliant time, well done and well done to everyone for turning up, I couldn't believe that raggies could make it through that storm from Hell to get there /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
I have left the boat there so will be performing tricks next weekend if anyone is around /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I was in the chandlery at Mercury marin and the guy working in there mentioned that some very experienced customers said that Saturday's weather was the worse and most unusual they had seen in the Solent, must have been the winds /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
