A Quirky Quiz
The social committee are doing another event for March, this time ‘A Quirky Quiz’.
It will be on Zoom again, on Friday 19th March at 7pm. We’re aiming to make it a fun experience, hopefully with a few unusual rounds thrown in!
No charge for participating and the prize for the winning person, couple or team will be a round of drinks at Tudor Sailing Club when the club is open for business.
The social committee hope to see as many people attend as the bingo, if not more!
All we need is for anyone interested to send an email to the social secretary and we will send a Zoom link shortly before the event.

Waiting for the Tide
I’ll turn to the RYA again for some, hopefully, useful content this week.
First off, you can find out how you can help protect our seabed habitats and how to minimise any impacts from boating activities with a free The Green Blue Guide to Anchoring and Moorings. It also includes information about Advanced Mooring Systems (AMS). LIFE ReMEDIES AMS are currently being trialled in the Solent near Yarmouth Harbour on the Isle of Wight. The AMS are being used in place of existing chain moorings which can damage delicte seabed habitats. The basic idea is to prevent the mooring from laying on the bed and eroding the habitat around the anchor or lump. I’m not sure how it may work on a drying mooring, but there are systems for anchoring as well as fixed moorings. More info at http://rya.org/JU4t50DMN4t where you can download a PDF guide, as well as others including one on Holding Tank Installation.
RYA have launched two of their most popular books in audiobook format. These are the RYA Yachtmaster Handbook and the RYA VHF Handbook. If this sounds of interest you can find more details at http://rya.org/3GdE50DyFaf.
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 include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.
Stay safe.
