Newlyn Raft Race 2007

Even the swans entered into the spirit of the day....some straggled.....
chaos on the landing beach.....
some needed a tow.....
almost last!
long-time Meadery Maid Loiusa Nowell tastes vicory again.....
as did the rest of the crew...
the IRB kept an eye on things....
along with big brother....

MBLA's Happy Return demonstrates her dipping lug to change tack...
down comes the lug....
passes round the foremast...
and then back into action...


final prep for the big day!
