Cowes today (9.4.07)
Had a nice trip over to Cowes for a first run of the year, and managed to squeeze in a nice bit of nosebag while there. (at the Anchor)
Fab weather in the Solent today, absolutely perfik.
Bumped into Stuart Gibson (father of Maxim) and had a run along with John Burden on the way over.
pics:
1 & 2) Chaos proves (If proof were needed) he's a nob, and very 'gay' to boot.
3) We managed to 'soot' the transom up a bit   Which is always a good sign of having given it a good seeing to.
4) North Basin at cowes was pretty much empty, ..marvelous.

Glad to hear you had a good day, Dad rang me and told me about it, but first had felt the need to ring me from John's Extreme with V8 roaring in the background just to let me know what he was doin whilst I was in my boat, on dry land and covered in fibreglass dust!

Just having all the cockpit stuff (front and rear seats, and side panels) recovered by Undercover, who did all the upholstery originaly.
While I'm at it, I'm changing the yellow & white around, so they'll be white with yellow insets, as apposed to the current yellow with white insets.
