Russ Burrell (left) and Al Schönborn take a last look at their "babies" at Toronto's Pearson International Airport...
...
... before they are shipped off to London Gatwick courtesy Wardair's Max Ward who is a long-time friend of George Blanchard's. The boats were shipped trailers and all, and we only had to pay a nominal fee for having the professionals store them in the plane.
...
Arrival at Gatwick: UKWA Vice-Chairman and WIC rep, Peter Lord, was on hand to greet and help us.
...
SHADES is "escorted" out of Gatwick.
...
The Wardair man in London and Russ Burrell (right) admire Uncle Al's organized mess. Looks about the same in 2001!!
...
Russ' Wayfarer exits Gatwick.

Jenny Burrell - a proud Canadian as Peter Lord checks the borrowed trailer lights board.

On the (wrong side of the) road to Hayling. Picture taken through the front windshield of Phil Warner's car. Phil was car #2 in the convoy and towing SHADES. I had some lovely slides of Phil's young daughters at Hayling but these are misplaced at the moment.

...
Low tide at Bosham Harbour which is at the north end of Chichester Harbour which in turn has Hayling Island at its southern exit. This was a fascinating scene to the Burrells and the Schönborns who had never seen tidal effects such as this. (click here for larger pic)

..
Approach to Hayling Island SC, located on a sand spit at the SE corner of Hayling Island.
...
The west half of the huge Chichester Harbour as seen from the stony Hayling Island SC beach near low tide.
...
Above the club, flags welcome the international array of participants.
A typical Hayling Island breeze is blowing.
...
Low tide: looking from the HISC beach toward Mengeham Rythe SC.
...
Another typical HISC view: morning fog to complement the (abominable) morning coffee upstairs at HISC.
...
A suite at the "Hayling Hilton": not sumptuous but all a weary sailor needed.
