Cowes Week 2013 - Sunshine, smiling faces and many Mojitos… but no sailing!

We love our annual Cowes Week ‘outing’. It’s the perfect opportunity to down tools for a few hours, jump on the RedJet and cross the Solent to relax, chat and absorb all that the final day of Cowes Week has to offer. Admittedly in our case that is mostly in the form of beer and cocktails – but hey that’s what it’s all about by that stage in the Regatta isn’t it?

22. Sing along… we did!

After a tasty lunch by the water we joined the rest of the revelers and whiled away the afternoon with much jollity. Lily and Dave entered a limbo competition in a bid to win us a Treasure Chest of rum, Ted, Mr and Mrs Dover’s handsome Schnauzer enjoyed some Pimms and we Oooed and Ahhhed in all the right places as the Red Arrows flew overhead.­

The fantastic firework display marked the official end to the week and after a little dancing and swaying we wended our way home before the final RedJet turned into a pumpkin. I’m not sure they float that well!

Here’s to next year…
