title	Cowes Weekend, Cowes, Isle of Wight - 7th August 2004
intro	Nosher heads down to catch a bit of Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight, seeing as how Sean is crewing for old school chum Ray on his Contessa 32, "Confusion". First, there's a bit of time to kill waiting for the ferry in Lymington, which is just enough to swing round to see Hamish. Then, once on the island, Nosher and Sean crash for the night on another boat - Drifter - and then there's a day of sailing, watching baffling swarms of boats compete in races around various bits of the Solent whilst listening in to radio commentary on Cowes FM.
