Fun at Bembridge! T he recent Bembridge Harbour Family Fun Weekend was blessed with glorious sunshine, as people enjoyed the packed weekend of events. Record numbers of people took part with 199 visiting boats turning up, more than ever before. Events ranged from a crabbing competition, to free taster sessions on paddlesboards and kayaks with Tackt-Isle Adventures, from sandcastle building to childrens races. Brading Haven Yacht Club’s fleet of 16 colourfully decorated Scows sailed up the Harbour in memory of Eve Watson, with a trophy in Eve’s name being awarded. Over £1,000 was raised for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. 18 www.visitilife.com
