Cruising Update
Last month’s cruises proved challenging
with strong winds prevailing but we
managed to enjoy a long weekend at
Bobbin Head and an overnight stay at
Refuge Bay.
October First Friday saw 143 people
enjoy a fantastic presentation from Chris
and Jess Bray on their adventures sailing
the Northwest Passage.
Sesquicentenary Clarence River Cruise
This cruise heads off mid October led by
Jim and Clem Cormack and promises to
be an enjoyable cruise of about a month
with a week on the Clarence. We hope
the jacarandas will be in full bloom! We
wish fair winds and good sailing to all
those participating.
