Equinoctial jaunt on the Clyde

24/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Shorter and cooler days are all signs of the approaching end of summer sailing, so make the most of the last three sailing days of the season on April 1, 8 and 15.
Early showers on March 24 cleared while the volunteers took a coffee break to decide whether or not to sail, and we're glad we made the right decision.

We rigged just Poppy and Slime and launched Jay Bee in anticipation of a quiet day on the river.

First to arrive were Yvonne, Guy and Oscar Geeves, whose help throughout the day was tremendous, even though Guy and Yvonne had a few "injuries".

With Michael L and Martyn on Jay Bee, Tish went for her first sail, one-handed, since shoulder surgery, while Jocelyn with Oscar on the helm floated around on Poppy (the wind was quite light). Oscar then made a successful ship-to-ship transfer to Jay Bee and a run up the river.

Martyn was busy in Jay Bee with his Go-Pro, so keep an eye on our website, Facebook and Youtube for some great action footage.

It was great to see the Toyer family - Tara, Kate, Rhian and James - who also gave us a very welcome helping hand.

Kate and Tara on Slime, and Martyn on Poppy had a good hour's sail. Unfortunately, the wind was still a bit too light for Martyn to practise his racing starts for the Anzac Regatta.
​
The long-range forecast for sailing on April 1 is good, so here's hoping we will be out on the water on Monday.
