Captain's Log: ECA Frostbite Rally, Gunwharf & The Folly, January 13/14/15 2006  

Friday 13th January 2006 – Frostbite Rally, Gunwharf & The Folly

 

Jez Mills & I set off along with Kotka (Richard with Maclolm & Mavis) and later Rousillon (John Burton & APB) Great big southerly all the way there – great fun. Asked QHM for permission to cross Portsmouth, and rolled into Gunwharf itself for the first time. Quite an experience!

Kotka arrives!

Afternoon tea!


The girls arrive by train:


Dinner in Gunwharf at the Italian:


Amazing views from the Tower:

Stiff breeze and a beat to Cowes – saw B&Q in the Medina River

 

As expected, we had a fabulous meal, and danced on the tables, but we’ve taken pictures of that before.

Again, a cracking good sail back – still southerly, eventually got overtaken by the Island Packet!
