Sailing

Eve of St. Mawes






We have therefore joined Erith Yacht Club where Alan was a member many years ago. We have had a few trips in our Hamble Star 14' Dinghy number 57 including riding the large wake of a speeding tug! We purchased our first keel boat:- 'Pranzo' in 2004 and have now moved on to 'Kaliph'.   In June 2005 we took an RYA Practical Course

      
Erith Yacht Club headquarters "Folgefonn".

The sailing season is nearly over - Kaliph is out. Part of Pam's birthday was spent on washing down! 10 November 2006

Before we could step the mast on Kaliph the crane hook had to be untwisted!
