Sail Chat 3rd December 2023-AGM

Grim old day again but this time a nice little southerly blowing, enough to stem the stream, which had reduced. Only three gallant takers George Comet, James Peel Comet and Hywell with Sophie Penwarden in the Merlin. Nice short course in the breeze F to H, layed by experienced yachters and race team, Chris Parker and Brian which produced a speedy short race for the Merlin and only slightly more for the Comets. The Merlin experienced a centre board obstruction off the Surrey bank and an object was seen.

After the race a team of Hywell, John, Brian and Ben salvaged a motor scooter submerged near the ferry landing on the Surrey bank, truly a herculean task.

Generous lunch was by Ellie and Angela, timekeeping by Ra and Livvy and bar by Mack, where the IPA was delicious. Refreshments were followed by our AGM where our warm hearted Commodore Michaela stood down and Ian Peerless was elevated along with his Equerry Susie. Sarah Jenkins was then appointed Vice Commodore. James Peel was welcomed to the committee.

Now Children! Its your party next week but you can't cry if you want to because Santa and his Elf will be there.

Phill
