Splash Point 5/5/16

Well this day two years ago saw 100+ Poms pass this site. Although today didn't produce those sort of numbers, a fair few went through and proved a great start to the Pom season. With the wind veering to NE by late afternoon Poms were seen relatively close in affording excellent views. A great day and a few more to come over the next few days.
