29th July Summer Cruise Strangford Lough
OOD Graham Jones

Join us for the club's annual summer cruise from 29th July to return 13th august.

This year we plan to explore the beautiful Strangford Lough in Ireland. Club members who have already sailed to this picturesque location have really enjoyed it and have had warm welcomes by the locals. Route is likely to be via Isle of Man but more robust plans will
be drawn up nearer the date.

This is a great opportunity to sail in company on a longer cruise. Having been on our first spring cruise this year with other club boats I can highly recommend the benefits of sailing in a group. We really enjoyed our ourselves and have gained some great experience along the way.

If you are interested in joining or just have a few questions then please speak to myself or Graham Jones. Graham will also be able to order you any charts or pilot books that you may need.

The first destination is likely to be Porth Wen for anyone wishing to join us just for the weekend.

We hope to see as many club boats as possible.
