Boats on the Mote (Maidstone) July 24th

Setting up early at Mote Park

The banner says it all

Having seen the forecast, John K invested in a new hat for the summer

Yachts of all shapes and sizes

Even Martin's very large Riva Aquarama looks small out there

Nice Crash Tender complete with window frames and fittings

The sun sparkled on the water

Lots of yellow fibreglass for the fast boats

Time slots for different types of boat - Ooops, sorry!

Such magnificent detail

Huntsman 28 sets sail

John Barnes' fishing boat heads for the deserted fishing grounds - not a sole to be seen.....

Perfect day for speedboat ride
