Wessex Section Christmas Lunch. Parkstone Yacht Club has now postponed its clubhouse move, so the possibility of uncancelling the Christmas lunch has just arisen. A tentative booking has been made, and as of 21.00hrs, 30th. November, all members of the section should have received, or be about to receive, an email about this, to judge whether it is viable to confirm the booking.
A welcome return by the CA’s own popular and highly entertaining speaker, with another of his always meticulously researched and humorously presented talks.
The talk this evening has had to re-arranged, and is not the same as was indicated in the September issue of Cruising.
Bob and Sue Garrett - Baltic and Back in a season
Bob and Sue were advised that they couldn’t “do” the Baltic justice in a season but decided anyway to see as many countries as possible and sailed 3800 miles, mostly day-sailing, and visited nine countries going as far as St.Petersburg on ‘Intrepid’, a Dufour 365.
19:30, Tuesday 18th. Ocober 2016, at Parkstone Yacht Club.
David Jillings - From Pin Mill to Rømø, the cruise of the Drascombe Longboat Badekar.
Badekar’s seven week cruise was intended to reach the Baltic, and to retrace the steps of David’s Viking ancestors who settled in Suffolk from Denmark. Starting with a 40-hour solo crossing of the North Sea, he eventually reached Denmark (although not the Baltic).
