Sea Road to the Isles, Philip and Richard Crockatt

Philip and Richard will present episodes from the award winning log of their 600 mile cruise in a Rustler 31 from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, to Ardfern, in the Western Isles of Scotland during the summer of 2016. Sparkler, skippered by Philip, with several crews, visited the five kingdoms of England, Wales, Isle of Man, Ireland and Scotland. The focus will be on two overnight passages, from Newlyn to Milford Haven, and Milford Haven to Holyhead and the navigation required for the turning of important corners - Retirement, Lands End, St David's Head, Holyhead, Meeting the Admiral, The Calf of Man, Donaghadee Sound, Mull of Kintyre, and the Crinan Canal. There will be photos, chartlets, and the amazing sound of Clive's Tibetan singing bowl, which, with Clive, sailed with us from Dartmouth to Holyhead. We hope to share experiences with CA members who have sailed the same waters.

Date: Wednesday 14 February. Lectures and talks start promptly at 1900 hrs.
