Some lovely picture there, robinstall. Good to see you got the hang of posting pics. Congratulations, as well, in getting to the Isle of Wight and back in your little boat........ ;D |

Crewed this morning for Vince. Must have done nearly 50 yards! Off into Bridgend now to find a pub showing the Ospreys game.

Have done a few sails around the Solent, none recently though, and very lacking in photos. Have quite a few photos of buoys in the Solent though! Spent a very uncomfortable night in Cowes marina once, having arrived after dark, on outside pontoon, continually bobbing about in the wash caused by other, very inconsiderate, late comers. These are about the only photos we've got, and being new to this photbucket lark don't know if they will come out! See, I knew I couldn't work it very well - the descriptions didn't come out. These were taken in June 2004, a much younger looking me & Vince! The super power boat was in Cowes marina, the big white ship was in the Solent just off Cowes (have since seen her in Cardiff I think) and the motley crew is us and my cousin & wife & their son-in-law    |

Nice Pics. Who'd have thought that the timid, nervous looking chap in the white shorts who looks so uncomfortable on a yacht would turn into the racing mad sailing monster we all know, a man who drives his crews to within inches of their lives to gain advantage around the buoys?
