Peel Festival Starts

Registered at the Festival Office, and were given our dinner tickets and a goody bag. Got the bunting up, went for a walk round town. Mary Gibs moved Molly Cobbler from her berth on the pontoon to raft up outside Robinetta. She then borrowed Worm to practice her sculling and set off up the harbour.

Julian and I read for a bit, then headed for a walk up Peel Hill. We walked down towards the top of the harbour where we had a kipper roll. Albaquila, a classic motor boat, was moored at that end of the harbour, and we were invited aboard for a cup of tea and a look. Very smart!

Friday evening saw the Traditional Boat sailors invited to the Peel Sailing Club for a tasty barbecue supper. Peel certainly knows how to encourage owners of old boats to bring them to its festival.
