I've just checked the Wikipedia entry and found to my amazement that it's Regatta dates all the way back to 1792 when there were three divisions and 26 entries. A reporter noted that "Much nautical skill was displayed in the maneuvering of the various squadrons. Every hoy, smack, wherry etc. in the vicinity of Whitstable was crowded with company and formed quite a fair upon the ocean"
Well that makes the America's Cup a bit of a brash newcomer!
Anyway, here's a collection of photos from the weekend.

Oysters. I can't get away from them. I don't want to, either. I had twelve of them in risotto tonight with spinach, wild mushrooms and cream. Low fat and damn good for you....well, delicious anyway.
Oysters are great, aren't they? Except once in Australia I had them deep fried in batter with chips: your recipe sounds a lot better.
Mussels too - very low fat and nutritious :)
JP: Mussels are great too. The best mussels I've ever had were from Santa Barbara. The were about four inches long and super meaty, steamed with white wine, herbs and butter. There I go again!
