Cruising Fleet Summer BBQ/Picnic Sunday Photos
The weather played ball, being delightfully warm and not searing hot like the BBQ grill, for the inaugural Summer BBQ. More than 50 members of the cruising fleet met up on the deck to recount summer sailing adventures, discuss boats being hunted for or just acquired, whilst enjoying a Pimms and summer dessert supplied by the fleet funds. A huge thanks go to Maggie for her organisation and also George helping to drive this new social event in the calendar. Several new members were welcomed to the party.
