RNSA (P) Autumn Series – Race 8

Much to the relief of the eight diehard vessels that came to the start line for the penultimate Wednesday race of the season, the band of torrential rain forecast to sweep down the Solent did not materialise until much later. In fact the light drizzle gently wetting the fleet 20 minutes prior to the start, eased off to leave another perfect sailing evening.

East Coast hold their AGM

Memebrs and friends gathered at the West Mersea Yacht Club on Saturday evening to review 2014 and make plans for 2015. The East Coast Branch met at West Mersea Yacht Club for its annual general meeting on 11th October 2014. The Branch Captain/Chair and Secretary reported on the past year that had seen intense activity putting together NL70 and still managing and supporting a regular cruise programme for 2014.

The Reluctant Anchor Watchman

A sardonic look at anchoring. Why would anyone choose to pass by a marina and head for that quiet little anchorage that offers no facilities, no chance to charge the batteries at exorbitant cost and no bar where one can sit and covet the super yacht that dwarfs your own floating cash drain? Read Peter Stone's musings from this year's cruising on the link below.
