Thought some people may like to see these.

4 hours punching a spring tide half way around the island and then the same again back, all to watch 2 sets of round the cans races banghead

Still was a great day, hope you enjoy the pictures ...

no it was too rocking and rolling for that, a crowd of us piled onto another boat, a Hunter 29.5, for 9 hours it definitely made for a more comfortable place!
