Waiting for the Tide
A couple of useful items from the RYA that may be of interest to members this week. Both have some tips and a video on their subjects that may be of use to those getting back on the water.
‘Return to play’ for boating with crews from different households:

Safety boat solo crewing:

Talking of getting back on the water, it is probably worth pointing to the Diary Dates below and noting that there are some sailing activities being run by the club again, just in case you have missed it. Also, since it is only just under 6 weeks away, not a thought I am relishing, I have repeated last week’s notice about the Cruiser Recovery – it feels much too early to be thinking about this, but this isn’t one of your run of the mill years unfortunately.
As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address if you feeling isolated and cut off from the world, even though lockdown has been eased things are far from normal. It is always nice to hear from members, and any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.
Stay safe.

Cruiser Recovery
The Bosun Committee is organising the cruiser recovery for the weekend of 26/27 September, this is early due to the possibility of another lockdown when flu season starts.
The recovery will only include those cruisers on the water. Members should let the bosuns know ASAP if they wish to recover on this weekend as we may need to stagger times for people to arrive so as to not have a large gathering of people.
There will be no ferrying therefore members will need to use their tenders and must ensure masks are worn if crewing with members of other families.
There will be a Tudor rib afloat in case of emergency and water babies will also be on hand to help with the hoist strops.
Members can of course recover earlier or later by drying on the slip and arranging their own tractor driver and banksmen. Just keep in mind that if there is a further lockdown then club, slipway and compound will be off limits and your boats will have to stay afloat until such times the restrictions are relaxed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.
Regards
