Managed to get over, and SWMBO even managed to sweet talk us a berth over at East Cowes ( even though everywhere insisted they were full).
Had a wonder up to cowes yacht haven to see the boats and crews carrying out their final preps, unfortunately nowadays you can't get near the boats like you used to though.
I did spot a familiar face though...
Unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to say hello, boat looked great though!!
A couple of others just on their way out for tests as we arrived;
No69 sounded the business!!
More to follow tomorrow.
