Racing abandoned...

Considering the amount of Pimms consumed by the fleet at last night's fancy dress extravaganza, there was some visible relief at this morning's news that racing was abandoned due to strong winds. An extra race is planned for tomorrow giving us a 2-race final day. The championship is still open, especially since the guy in pole position, Steve Tylecote, will not be showing tomorrow due to a badly timed prior commitment to be best man at a wedding. Considering the groom is none other than long-serving member of the Firefly committee Simon Spolton you could be forgiven for thinking its a fix. Simon you will be receiving an extra-big wedding prezzie from the fleet if we get our two races in tomorrow! Here's some piccies from last night's fancy dress. The theme was "Racing marks of the Solent"..can you guess the marks? Air Canada Corporate Finance Lymington Bank - A walking talking dancing ATM! Marine Track Trinity House
