| Cruiser/Dinghy
Rally 11th August 2007 |
|
On the 11th
August, over half a dozen cruisers left the MRSC club on the
morning ebb tide and sailed/ motored over to Priory Bay on the
Isle of Wight in light winds, a flat sea and in sunshine. On
board were a dozen or more club members who are usually seen
sailing dinghies in the harbour. We were accompanied by Chris
Dobner in Patsy who provided
sterling service when we reached the 'other side' by ferrying
everyone ashore from the anchored cruisers
. |

| Many
braved the cool water and went for a swim, followed by a
communal BBQ. With no time
for a snooze, we were into an energetic game of rounders,
Mengeham style. This
involved a certain amount of shoulder charging, obstruction and
body-checking but there were no significant injuries!
|
| |
| With
the evening sun getting lower, as soon as there was enough
water, the ferry back to the
cruisers began. It was
almost dark when the last returned and some had problems mooring
with a strong tide and little light.

Many thanks to the
cruiser fraternity for their
great hospitality and
to Chris Dobner for his taxi
service, all combining to make
it a most enjoyable day. |
