Tidal Diamond No. 360

Ebb & Flow

Deadline for the December issue of Ebb and Flow – this is Sunday, 1 December 2013.

As usual, we need your input to make Ebb and Flow interesting so please let us know all about your sailing adventures and activities over the summer. If you are writing an article (and please do), a few photos if you have them help to make it even more interesting (and make it easier to adjust it to fit in the space available).

I’m sure you must have some sailing thoughts or experiences that we can all learn from or enjoy. Cruising tips – or trips, race training ideas, cooking in confined quarters, whether you achieved your plans and ambitions for 2013 and what are your sailing plans for 2014? What made you want to get afloat in the first place. Sailing trivia, book reviews, your favourite nautical film or poem? What about a seasonal sailing story or are there any sailing cartoonists or comic strip artists out there? Would you recommend your type of boat to others and why? Contributions are welcomed for our next issue. Don’t be shy, start to write!

If you have an idea and aren’t too sure, please get in touch and send your contributions to ebbnflow

TSC Winter Dinghy Calendar – Take Two

Those of you with an eagle eye for detail will have noticed my deliberate error in last weeks Tidal Diamond. In a great cut and paste error I inadvertently duplicated Frostbite 2 & 6 on the same date (Sunday 1st December 2013). To confirm:

All dates remain as published with the exception of Frostbite 6 which should read Sunday 22nd December 2013 – 13:00

Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused. I would hope that the added interest in my written accuracy results in a greater attendance on the day. See you there…
