International Optimist Regatta August 1962

A Memory of Sarisbury.

Together with 5 other danish boys + boys and girls from England, Germany and Sweeden I participated in the International Optimist Regatta august 1962.
The regatta took place on the Hamble River from 11. to 18. august.

Peter DUE and I were accomodated at:
Holly Hill Lodge 123 Barnes Lane

Our hosts mrs. and mr. BELL DAVIES and their 3 children, Ea, Richard and Inky treated us very well and we enjoyed our stay.

Though the conditions for sailing on the Hamble River were bad due to unreliable winddirections, tide and many anchored boats, I remember this location as very nice - an exotic time warp .

Peter and I corresponded with the family years after - but then lost contact.
Recently I've found photoes from the regatta and our stay at Holly Hill Lodge - and I should like to share these photoes with the family and/or their descendants.
