Last Baltic Section Meeting of the season.
Arctic Adventures – A Journey from Ramsgate to Spitsbergen and Back – talk by Des Crampton. CA House 1900. Admission free for CA Members. Non-members £7.
"Hear how the Ramsgate-based yacht 'Cantilena of London' undertook a 4,500 mile round trip into northern Arctic waters. CA Baltic Section member Des Crampton and his crew sailed to a latitude of 78.5 degrees North amongst the inhospitable but spectacular islands of the Svalbard archipelago. Des was joined by his wife Teresa in the northern Norwegian city of Tromsø for the homeward cruise. Intricate navigation, weird weather and the awesome beauty of the Norwegian coastline all contributed to making this a memorable journey."
A short briefing for the Rally will be included this evening.
