With enormous thanks to all those who contributed so generously, we now have Fusion Pro sail number 444 on the quay.  I know that’s sail number 7 but it’s the same otherwise!

At a hastily convened meeting of the Club 400 Committee (typo section) it was decided that £321.80 for third place was a bit OTT, so the prize was arbitrarily reduced by 90%…

In Sarah’s absence the draw was run by Gill West. Probably a good thing, as Sarah won!

In Third place:the 73 people who submitted variations on “Between Rock and a hard place” Second place: “Must get the satnav fixed”: Michael Somers First place: “It wasn’t there when I parked it..”. – Roger Williams who wins his 15 minutes of fame. I was surprised the Water Ski contingent didn’t come up with: “How...

It looks like it is going to be a bit too wet and windy tomorrow so the racing has been cancelled.

It’s that time of year again when the pram racks are looking sorry for themselves. As usual all boats (prams and sailing dinghies) must be cleared from the racks before the end of October, and particularly so this year as we will be embarking on a massive clear up and re-organisation of the quay.

Suggestions before prize-giving tonight please

And it’s here… Wednesday Briefing will be at 0945 on the Quay so you can all have a lie-in. Prize -giving supper has a (non-obligatory) pirate theme. Come as buried treasure with a map to find it, or to keep it simple, if you’re female wear a band-aid (that’d be a cut-lass then…). Or a...
