Welcoming the new Commodore at Penton Hook

[Doolittle]

Tomorrow (Sunday) 20th from 10am ‘till 1 ish.

Some take it very seriously, more use the excuse as a right royal pi55 up!

Some 50 boats of all shapes and sizes join in the tradition of a sail past the new commodore and dip their ensigns in acknowledgement. Boats leave Penton Marina and head downstream and turn around above Chertsey lock.

Makes for a very busy coupla hours and pretty entertaining, especially if my son sorts a decent volume of water bombs!

I won't be on the water but I'll look out for any MBY pennants.

I love all these 'traditions'

Is that Vince?

 

[Doolittle]

Who, the new commodore? Haven't a clue. I can find out though.

I thought Vince was the commodore, but hardly the "new" commodore?

Troo, bit of a scrub though and most things can pass as good secondhand.
