The entrance is close to the sea wall that goes out to the Lighthouse in the estuary and ...

Hi Ivan I too am looking forward to dinghy sailing this winter but this Sat wind forecast 16mph / force 4 I think will be too much for my first try singlehanded in the enterprise.
Hope to sail with you soon John.

Hi David you are doing an excellent job of maintaining the computers, please keep up the good work. It allows me to keep in touch with the club even though I can't get there as often as I would like.
many thanks for all the work you do. John

Hi Mick I think your long oar option is a better less polluting idea, but make it at least 12 foot long so Dave can use it standing up in the stern it would be easier on his back, but just in case better order a gallon of Sloans liniment to keep on board.

are you thinking of changing to inboard then mick?

Is your outboard motor OK now then.

Why not stretch a poly tunnel between the masts and plant some winter salad.

Hi looking on the moorings web cam at midday it looks like 2 of the boats may have sails coming loose, can anyone a the club please check with bino's and if so let the owners know.
