Folly Rally Report – 16 & 17th September 2006
10 Maxi’s gather at a favourite watering hole
What a fantastic collection – the second Rally in recent weeks on the South Coast – and 10 Maxis! 1400hrs on a Saturday and they were all arriving! A very happy gathering with drinks on the pontoon by 1700. A blast of blue hulls together receiving the envious glances at such a popular venue.
Many will know that the local ferrymaster carries us across to the shore. We had an early table setting at the Folly Inn. With their unique style for a very fast throughput, it seemed the whole Isle of Wight population were all present and being served with not much waiting. A great hub–bub and a happy evening for all. The evening was warm enough that we hardly noticed we had passed over the table for the next sitting and had returned to the boats for a late night chat in the cockpit
.
Sunday morning and an early start, 1000hrs for the Poole boats to return and the rest of us to move off. Magewind didn’t get far; Blue Rider caught up with her in Osbourne Bay for lunch, but dare not show the photos of John and Rod swimming across in time for lunch!
