Tuesday Talk:

Sailing Single-handed to Greenland, via the Orkneys, Faroes & Iceland by Alan Wilson

Tuesday 10 November 19:30

Come along  to the first talk of the season.  Alan Wilson will talk  about his journey sailing single-handed from Tollesbury to Greenland (and back!) last year in a 10m Nauticat, taking 5 months and with some interesting weather. Scoresby Sound is the largest Fjord system in the world and is iced for 10 months of the year. This was his third attempt at getting there; some people will do anything to get fresh ice for their whiskey!

The Osea Room bar opens at 18:30.   No need to book, just turn up. Friends and non members from other sailing clubs welcome.
