sailing yachts arrived , and it was a close context .
Everyone was a winner on the day but line honours went to the flag blue 11 meters “ 5 th Element ”.
50 members and guests gathered on the beach enjoyed a taste of early spring as well some refreshing beverages .
Children and adults enjoyed a game of cricket whilst other devoted themselves to slower paced activities involving eating and chatting . All in all a very nice day , it make me wonder why we are not there every week !
Thank you to Debbie the waterfront boys and Jade from the sailing office for helping making the day a success . Good sailing and arrivederci on the start line ! By Salvatore Ridulfo , Rear Commodore Activities
