HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL
Last week on Wednesday, our beloved Sailing Manager, Paul, became a year wiser!
|
The Crow's Nest was alive with birthday shenanigans, complete with office pranks, a cake fit for a sea captain, and a lot of hearty laughter.
|
|
Pauli, here's to another year of smooth sailing and grand adventures!

JEREMY WALTER WAKE
|
Join Us in Honoring the Memory of Jeremy
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is with heavy hearts that we invite you to join us in commemorating the life of our dear friend, Jeremy.
|
|
His presence touched the lives of so many, and his memory will forever remain in our hearts.
|
|
|
Memorial Service Details
|
Location: False Bay Yacht Club
|
Following the memorial, we will gather for a sail-out to honour Jeremy's love for the open sea, a place where he found solace and joy.

|
|
The past week has been marked by a flurry of activities and noteworthy developments at our esteemed False Bay Yacht Club.
|
Cold water intrusion into the canyon and the point temporarily slowed the pace of tuna catches and, regrettably, led to a decrease in the presence of Yellowtail along the point.
|
Nevertheless, our dedicated members managed to secure commendable tail catches within the point's shelter.
|
In an unexpected turn of events, Snoek made an appearance on Thursday, adding a welcomed twist to our fishing experiences.
|
|
The weekend also saw the Boat Show, which was a splendid occasion, followed by a well-attended Steak Night and a lively rugby match.
|
|
The enthusiasm and turnout were truly heartening, underscoring the success of these events. We look forward to hosting many more such gatherings in the future.
|
Looking ahead, it appears that the prevailing SE conditions may keep us ashore until the weekend. With fingers crossed, we anticipate favourable weather conditions for what promises to be a much-anticipated return to the water after a prolonged interval.
|
Thank you for your continued support and participation in the vibrant Angling community of False Bay Yacht Club.
