Talk by Janet and Horst Safarovic. Janet is our popular HLR for the Kiel area who, with husband Horst, spends every moment possible sailing in the Baltic. They are coming to London to tell us more about cruising this popular coast.  As Janet and Horst organised the location and events for this year's Baltic Rally, we are making this evening a reunion for Travemünde 2012 (and of course for all other Baltic Rallies). Come along to learn more about cruising Baltic Germany and to meet up with the "rallygoers".

St Petersburg via Lofoten and Iceland

Date: 
Fri, 26/10/2012 - 19:00 to 21:00

Talk  by Charlotte Wilkinson

This talk will present Charlotte's experiences of sailing the west coast of Norway to Lofoten, (bizarrely on her way to the Caribbean..... now no bad jokes about female navigation skills).

Other seasons included voyaging to St Petersburg in 2010, and then to Jan Mayen and Iceland in 2011. This talk is about 'giving it a go', lessons learnt and about really having fun and enjoying being afloat on pocket cruisers. Her sailing base is in Greenwich, London.
