Cruiser Launches

Three Cruisers were launched this Monday. Some of us have also managed to get afloat as well.

I would like to let Members know through this Tidal Diamond of the intensive and hard work carried out by our Executive committee over the past few weeks putting in place procedures to open our Club for use by Members. The procedures are in accordance with HM Government Covid 19 instructions and RYA guidance to ensure we can get out on the water safely and lawfully. Thanks to Richard and Co.

Waiting for the Tide

You probably know the drill by now, attached is a new wordsearch for this week and the words and solution for last weeks one. This week the words are the surnames of the 15 sailors that would have been at the Tokyo Olympics, you may find the RYA website helpful for this one.

As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address if you feeling isolated and cut off from the world. It is always nice to hear from members, and any ideas of things to do would be most welcome.

Stay safe.

The Great Tudor Bake Off (Lockdown Edition)

As we can’t have a reprise of the original Tudor Bake Off the WOW ladies thought we should have online one instead.

The Challenge

Bake a two layer sponge cake or mini sponge cakes in any flavour or style, the only rules are must be sponge and be made of two sponge cakes.

Be creative or traditional – you decide, just have fun!

How to enter (ALL members welcome!)

Take a picture of your bake / bakes and send along with a title to wow by Friday 29th May, don’t put yourself into the picture please!

A link to vote for your favourite will be sent in the 2nd June TD.

May winner will be announced on 9th June

Useful Links

I thought it worth continuing to include a few useful links here as a handy place to find them if you haven’t already got them bookmarked:

• Government information on Coronavirus: https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
• NHS information on Coronavirus: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/
• RYA information on Coronovirus: https://www.rya.org.uk/knowledge-advice/current-affairs/Pages/coronavirus-covid-19.aspx

It is probably also worth noting:

• Langstone Harbour Board office is closed and they are working on limited capacity with minimal staff at the moment: http://www.langstoneharbour.org.uk/
• National Coastwatch has had to close their NCI stations: https://www.nci.org.uk/content/nci-stations-close-due-coronavirus-concerns
• RNLI stations are open, but they are hoping people stay at home* as per Government guidance; there is always the possibility that they are unable to field a full crew due to Coronovirus, so this staying at home would seem a wise option: https://rnli.org/
• Getting on the water is being actively discouraged, notably in Portsmouth Harbour: https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/health/coronavirus/coronavirus-ministry-defence-police-stop-sailors-water-portsmouth-harbour-amid-covid-19-lockdown-2521619
