Waiting for the Tide
With the details about the RYA Virtual Dinghy Show in last weeks Tidal Diamond, I though it worth adding a link to the RYA Cruising Conferece this week. Unfortunately it isn’t free for non-members (not sure why), but you could always join and count the conference fee as a discount?! You do get discounts at other suppliers as a member as well (end of membership plug!). The conference has a keynote on boating skills from Skip Novak, a section on current hot topics that impact boaters including how the RYA is representing you.There are breakout sessions on tides, weather, RYA, electronics, charts, calling for help, rope, radar and dinghy cruising:

On a completely different tack (sorry), I’ve had an email from Bernard Staniforth with some details about how he is keeping himself amused during lockdown. It sounds as though work on the boat (such as there can be without access to the club) isn’t going so well (I know that feeling), but he has sent me a couple of versions of an oil painting he has been working on. I’m including them as attachments with his question “What do the sailors think?”
I’m not going to say which is the first iteration and which is the one he is happier with, but I will note that both are far beyond my ability. I’m find with antifouling the bottom of Pimpernel! If anyone else has any lockdown stories they would like to share let me know.
Subs Reminder: You should have had an invoice sent through, if not get in touch so that can be sorted out. Either way, don’t forget to pay. Have faith that we will get out on the water at some point this year – and I’m sure when we do it will feel better than ever!
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.
