I will be about, but as the support boat, blue and yellow ribcraft so if you see me give me a wave.

Very impressed with your students' manoeuvering last time.

1 & 2 Some really handsome guy in his bote

I think the guy standing to the right of Dee might be Chay Blyth

Fair play to her for doing the challenge.

Simon PM an address and I'll put the pics on a CD , theres quite a lot more or in the pub in cowes, should be there on wednesday

Nice photos :-)

Did you know.......the Aviva logo is based on Norwich Cathdedral Spire (the second tallest in England). They were going to change it a few years ago because apparenlty an Anglican church does not help their multi-national multi-culterual image.......

Aw Bless
