Fabulous! Jealous as hell, seeing as I'm not far away on a bloody rig!

Mad Mongoose seems a little over-pressed in a few of those pics! I like the Laser hunt in Pic 1, did you get him?

Seriously tho, excellent pics, thanks for sharing them.

 

[CliveSmith]

Great pictures. Especially the bows on one. Guess who's got a new desktop pic?

Fantastic pictures. Are those a couple of East Coast One Designs in amongst them? The one with the spinnaker flying, no 7, looks reminiscent of a boat called Wraith that I used to crew on in the early 70's.

Hi

I can help you out with two of them, but there were alot of boats out there, I could get the official entry forms and find out from there if you wish?

East Coast one design is 'Wizard'

And the West Solent one is called 'Mischief'

Fantastic day yesterday, and we all went out on the tide today to say 'adieu' to the visitors, some of which hailed from the Netherlands.

Thanks for the kind word's regarding the photos, although it is Tina who will get the praise passed to her as she is the 'Put me on their 1/4 or put me on their bow' director. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

BTW, Den Philips is a friend of ours and she was out there yesterday with her brother taking photos.

Al.

Looking after corporates to and from Cowes this weekend!

Sailing and Power boating all weekend, and being paid for it!

Oh Hum!

Al.

 

[AlJones]

Oh hell!


This seemed SOOOOOOO long ago now!



Since these were taken I have been in full wet weather gear each time I've been out!

But I do feel for the unfortunate ones experiencing flooding at the mo!
