Waiting for the Tide

January is proving quiet, but that isn’t exactly unexpected. I have removed the first two Icicle series races from the Diary Dates, in fact the section is looking rather empty. I could put the launch dates in there, but even that is up in the air and may run as last year, with a bit of added negotiation for use of the slip. It is feeling both too close and too far away – particularly for those wanting to crack on with getting their boats ready for the season.

Still, perhaps some light reading will help…

In anticipation of being able to sail to France, the Channel Islands and other non-UK places this year – well you never know, it may happen – this may make useful reading on the extra paperwork, yellow Q flags (remember those), VAT, etc. that are now required. A possible topic for a wordsearch?!

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.
