The Closing Cruise was a fantastic success. Rowers, paddlers, powerboats and a large chunk of our sailing fleet took to the water to thank our Commodore, Flag Officers and Committee for a job well done over the past sailing season.

Thank you all, you couldn’t have organised a better day for it! I’m not sure my words will do it justice if I try to paint a picture of what it was like for those who weren’t here, hopefully, the pictures say it all!
