Bradwell Rally 7th – 8th May

7 yachts left Burnham, Namaqua, Pax, Lune Orbitor, Parana, Moonfleet, Windroos and My Haven. Blue Moon joined the others at Bradwell after departing from Shotley. It was a beautiful warm day with a gentle E – SE 3. Parana had an engine problem and Pax very kindly shadowed  the rest of the journey.

Once in Bradwell most had a BBQ on the grass.

The return to Burnham was equally pleasant, again with a E – SE 3/4

One Boat had not crossed the RaySand before and it was great to see other yachts giving advice and keeping a look out, in true Narrow Seas Club form.

Brightlingsea Rally 30th April

The outward passage had a light variable breeze, mainly from the SW 3 – 7 knots, engines being used when the wind dropped. Once over the Spitway, a very enjoyable fetch towards the Colne. The wind then moved to the NW, freshening to around 14knots. Moonfleet hosted everyone on arrival with refreshments, thanks Chris and Jenny. Later some ate on board, whilst others went ashore for a curry. With the forecast for Monday looking rather windy and from the SW everyone decided to return on the Sunday and not go to Mersea. We all left Brightlingsea at half tide around 10am and have a very enjoyable sail back with a SW veering SE breeze 7 – 10 knots. A perfect first rally out of the river.

Boats attending were: Moonfleet, Lune Orbiter, Namaqua, Storm, Windroos and Blue Moon
