The Launch

Well the press launch went very well, we had a couple of guys down from the radio, one from ITV and the team from Cowes Online. I've spoken to the Editor of http://www.cowes.co.uk/ quite a few times, but have never met him-so it was nice to finally put a face to a name (was hard to see his face I must admit; he's about 8 miles tall and I just about come up to his knees!). The Austin 7's car club came out in force, and a small locomotive was on display courtesy of IW model engineers. All lovely, except for the bloody wind which killed the marquee and any chance of sailings....indeed the awful weather prevented the boat from being fully finished in time either! Hopefully we'll get out in her soon!
