| Medina Rally
in June |
| Posted 08.07.11 |
|
More than
30 MRSC members and about 17 MRSC boats cruised up the Medina
to Newport to enjoy the buzz of the Isle of Wight festival. It
was a great turnout, considering the poor forecast
[unsettled, to put it in weatherman terms]. Those that had to
leave on Sunday had a rough return, in winds starting off as
Force 4, building to Force 8, with torrential rain during the
afternoon. |
|
 |
|
|
The
festival goers really needed their
wellies! Monday was a great day for the majority to sail home, many
stopping off at East Head for a final party before the evening tide
took them back to Mengeham. |
