Britain and the Sea with Sam Llewellyn, Tuesday December 1st
Sam Llewellyn writes a novel most years, writes for the Daily Telegraph, and is a columnist for Practical Boat Owner and Classic Boat. As if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy he is also Editor of Marine Quarterly, a journal of the sea, and was the judge for the 2014 CA log competition.
Sam is a great story teller and we look forward to him joining us for our pre-Christmas meet where he will talk about methods for and consequences of cruising among our islands, with a nod at sea power past and present, and discuss living up to a proud tradition that embraces (to name but a few) Drake, Raleigh, Nelson, and Titty and Roger from Swallows and Amazons.
Bar opens from 19.15
Talk starts at 20.00
Ticket price is £3 for CA members and £5 for Guests. All very welcome.
