Yachts: Autumn Hints

Apparently, I have been usurped this year, so in spite of being nearly a week later than last year, this is not the last cruise of the year after all. The resurrected Winter Woollies is at least 2 full weeks later in October. But as a result, I am even more optimistic that this Cruise will NOT be cancelled due to weather this year – 3rd successful year in a row… Eighteen (18) berths are already provisionally booked at the Cowes Yacht Haven for Saturday night. On Saturday, High Tide at Chi Harbour Entrance is 13.40 & 4.7m, which should mean an afternoon sail with the tide for most of us, with a pontoon party in the late afternoon; & a group dinner in the evening – external factors permitting. With luck, this will be a group meal at the Island Sailing Club. More details nearer the date.

On Sunday, a relaxed morning start should allow most boats to get home soon after high tide. More details, including a Friday evening briefing if needed, will be much nearer the time. Please contact me if you have any questions.
