Tomahawk Owner's Rally in Chichester Harbour

I had been asked to arrange the TOA summer rally , and I was ambitious: a Treasure Hunt round the harbour, a BBQ on East Head Sand, a Sunday lunch at Bosham Sailing Club.
In the event, two boats turned up: Incamoon with Peter Llewellyn and Paul Jones (who received a drenching, courtesy of their own private mini-typhoon on the way fromn Warsash) and Cochise with Ian Bremner and Bill Garrod.
All plans were deferred in favour of quiet drinks on the pontoon: 

"How do you do that thing with your hands, Paul?"

Paul blagged us into possibly the most expensive Sailing Club in the country- Hayling Island Sailing Club for afternoon coffees, and we watched the tide churn over the entrance to the Harbour and the procession of boats into and from The Solent.

In the evening we were joined by Tony and Ruth for a meal at The Pirahna Bar.

Sunday afternoon saw Gloria make a brief appearance to pick up Bill, leaving Ian to sail back towards Poole single-handed. He made Yarmouth in 4 hours, a good sail.

 

PL and PJ were the next to go 

A pleasant time socialising with the Tommies.
