Sanderling and Tequila made directly for Shotley. Sea Shanty sailed some 10 miles of the 85 mile journey before diverting to Shotley, complaining of queasy crew. Sanderling and Tequila with the benefit of time, stayed in the Stour until the weather improved and they were able to cross and start their two week trip around Holland – Sea Shanty (being time poor) settling for a sunny weekend in Essex and the delights the Colne river. Separately, yachts Cornelia were in the Channel Islands & Brittany and Eventually was in Finland. Talisker 1 sailed to Ostend via the Isle of Wight and Cherbourg. The Senior Regatta on the 12th August went ahead despite a F5 wind filling-in, in the afternoon – Simon Boyd gets a mention for keeping afloat whilst all about were capsizing (inc. yours truly) and winning the Harper Cup. Learn The River took place for the first time this season where a couple of our, shall we say, very experienced sailors gave-up some of their hard-earned knowledge of the river Ore to our younger members who will be using this in their racing to gain an edge. A captive audience for a talk on Learn the River by James Robinson and David Foreman
