Sadly, due to lack of bookings, we have had to cancel this seminar, however the speakers have kindly agree to give their talks a later date as an online event only on separate evenings in the near future .
The annual Blue Water winter all day seminar will include a range of talks on subjects of interest to those cruising further afield as well as providing the opportunity to socialise with CA friends.
