Cruising News 18 Aug

This coming Friday, August 21st, is this month’s Guest Speaker Dinner, so book now to join your sailing colleagues and hear Alex and Boris Aver (of SV Grace) entertain us with tales from their recent sailing holiday in Croatia.

Join 2 brothers as they recount an unforgettable week sailing the spectacular Dalmatian Coast aboard a Beneteau Oceanis 40. From crystal-clear anchorages, medieval towns and hidden coves to generator failures, dinghy traffic jams, missed flights, lost luggage and a marathon passport queue in Frankfurt—this was a sailing adventure where the biggest storms happened after leaving the sea.


As usual, after gathering in the Members Bar for the weekly announcements and members’ draw at 7:00pm, please join us in the Bayview Room for the dinner and talk. Everyone is welcome, but please book now, as bookings are essential for catering purposes. To book, please contact Reception on 9592 3092 or email [email protected] prior to the close of business on Wednesday August 19th.   $40.00 per person is payable on the night, inclusive of a two-course dinner.

The Club will be holding its 30-year plus members lunch on the 3rd Friday in September, so the usual September Guest Speaker Dinner will not take place. In lieu, cruisers are invited to book themselves for an informal dinner in the Members Bar following the Friday draw on September 18th.

Guest Speaker Dinners will resume in October, when Grant and Delma Dunoon will tell us of their recent purchase and preparation of a canal boat and subsequent river and canal cruising in the UK and Europe.
