Blue Marlin Arrives at Up River
Thanks to all members who renewed very promptly and who complied with the messy requirements of the Crouch Harbour
Authority by completing yet another form to obtain their CHA plaque(s). Still, it’s worth it to be able to get a boat onto the
river again.
Sadly, member John Collins was killed in a road traffic accident earlier this year and his boat ‘Nomad One’, a trailer/sailer, is
to be sold. A letter of condolence was sent to John’s family.
It was always my habit to use ‘Flotsam’ to welcome new members, but somehow, last year, this fell by the wayside. So, I am
turning over a new leaf and would ask you to welcome David Banfield from Bicknacre who sails ‘Heckler’ (Streaker 1542)
and a Miracle without a name. I apologise to those members who joined last year without being welcomed in ‘Flotsam’.
Enjoy your sailing and always remember the wise words of good old Ratty, "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing,
absolute nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." -- The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth
Grahame
