Round the Island - Easter Saturday

Postby Dreadnought » April 4th, 2012, 10:45 am

Weather permitting I am going to sail the Jagular round the Island on Saturday leaving the beach at 0900 and going anti-clockwise. This is not a race.

Everybody is welcome to join me. Reply here or give me a call on 721264 if you are interested.

The plan is to go round the Island on Wednesday (11th April) leaving the beach at 5.30am and turning right.

It is all Tina's idea so if anything goes wrong it's her fault. :o

Mission accomplished. Tina, Paul and I finally got round the Island clockwise. The highlight was trapezing from the Needles to Cowes via Colwell for a cream tea.

Many thanks to Mary and Alan for following us round and to Mark Harding for taking the pictures from above the Needles.
