The
2000 GP Picnic |
|
SATURDAY 5th
AUGUST 2000 |
|
|
Something else, it's also
getting hi-jacked !!, not only did we have our 9 GPs and the folk in the
club launch invade the quiet secluded beach, but from the club, two
Toppers, a Phantom, a Wayfarer and a Mirror got to hear about it. |
|
|
|
Anyway we picked
another gorgeous day, sailed to our favourite spot and did the usual Boule
and Tug o War stuff with the Wooden boats versus the Plastics. The Woodies
won the Tug o War thanks to their anchor man, the visitor from Bristol. |
|
|
The
smell from the bar-b got a stream of takers as endless burgers,
hot-dogs and onions were churned out on one of those disposable jobs and
we even fed the gate crashers bless 'em. |
|
After a nice easy going afternoon messing around in boats and stuff, it was time for home. The getting back to the club business was easy this time as a stiff sea breeze had set in from a favourable direction allowing us to sail round Brownsea Island, port tack all the way. |

|
We had a load of gear and five in my boat
and the good 'ole GP handled it well but having to tack may have changed
all that. Den Valentine (GP 13117) |
