Report on Weekend events

Sunday we had six boats on the water, rather windier than expected, and the safety boat diverted to a keel boat which was dragging its mooring. Made secure and then passed over to the lifeboat. Some of us decided that discretion was the better part of valour, and didn’t cross the river to the lighthouse beach.
