Jul. 23, 2007 - Back in the Marina

As well as all the orgainised social events in Cowes there were a few dockside events which usually included free champagne, wine, beer and canapes. Some of the best times were to be had at impromptu gatherings on the boats after the racing. Stories were swapped, acusations made, and endlessly entertaining nonsense exchanged between enthusiasts. Here another beardie enjoys the afternoon sun reclining in the cockpit of Infanta. In place of a vase the flowers were using the hole in the deck where the mizzen usually goes. Rona (yes them again) had managed to remove it during a hotly disputed water at the mark incident.
