Sailability started with a bang on Saturday, with all of our usual helpers, lots of people from our regular list of members, a couple of new volunteers, and groups from Let’s Do Lunch and Balmoral House.

As well as these, our new volunteers were: Celine, Carina, Ellie. We appreciate the way you fitted in so well, and just did the things that needed to be done as if you had been doing it for years. Helpers on the deck were chef; Alice; as well as Michael, Philip, John W, and tireless Tony. A very efficient team that made a busy day proceed like a well-oiled machine.Photo of Ben, small observer on Chalie’s Chariot,
Because of this, we managed to delight Sam, Peter and Ben Brady, Jon, Matthew, Roger, Vanessa, Domenic, Megan, Blake, Sarah, Vinnie, Mariah, Photo of Sam in the boat with David.Alyssa, Robert, Susan, Ben, Denis Furze, and a proud Alan sailing solo wherever the fancy takes him. One of the highlights was the 2 m tide, causing some wet feet for people walking to and from the pontoon. Jon and Ben loved this sensation, but Alan was not impressed at getting his feet wet inside his boots. A very delightful day indeed.
