Sailing
After an excellent few days sailing in April 2004 on Gaff Pilot Cutter
"Eve" at St. Mawes in Cornwall (Classic Sailing), we have
decided to do more sailing.
Eve of St. Mawes
We have therefore joined Erith
Yacht Club where
Alan was a member many years ago. We have had a few trips in our Hamble
Star 14' Dinghy number 57 including riding the large wake of a speeding
tug! We purchased our first keel boat:- 'Pranzo'
in 2004 and have now moved on to 'Kaliph'.
In June 2005 we took an RYA Practical Course
Erith Yacht Club headquarters "Folgefonn".
The sailing season is nearly over - Kaliph is out. Part of Pam's
birthday was
spent on washing down! 10 November 2006

Before we could step the mast on Kaliph the crane hook had to be
untwisted!
