| Arrival at the pontoon at Port Solent for the Capgemini Weekend Regatta |
|
 |
| There were 20 Sunsail Jeanneau 37's in the regatta |
|
 |
| Our boat - number 41 - named 'Eco Friendly' to recognise the combined Ecosystem and Front End teams |
|
 |
| Looking around before ... |
|
 |
| ... going straight to the pub! |

 |
| Doing the flaming Sambuca trick |
|
|
 |
| Doesn't look like it but Dave did succeed in setting light to his finger |
|

 |
| Saturday morning doing the most important job - making the sandwiches |
|

 |
| Wish we'd got TomTom |

| Ian - the Competent Crew |

|
 |
| Although coming in just outside the top three, we actually spent most of the two main races in the lead - we'll take a GPS next year. |

| The Pimms party on the Big Boss's boat - note Belleropheron in front - named after one of Nelson's Men of War - also known as 'Billy Ruffian' |

| This containership was massive - 14 containers wide - I'm glad it wasn't moving fast |
|
 |
| Who put that sail in the way? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Dave's actually very pleased with our efforts and placing - the better of the two joint 4ths out of 20. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Slowly coming back to Port Solent with the sail tucked away and soon to be on the even slower A3! |
