Dinghy Sailing This Week

This Friday is Friendly Friday with a high water time of 5:04pm. If you are wanting to go out for a sail but would like to do so in company then drop a message in the dinghy WhatsApp group. If you are not on the WhatsApp group then drop me an email with your phone number to dinghies.

Saturday is the in harbour cruise which I will be leading. The rough plan depending on weather is to explore up the main channel, hopefully as far as Stoke, before turning around and stopping for lunch on Sword Sands. I will hold a short briefing by the shipping container at 9:30am before we take boats around to the slipway to launch.

Monday is race 4 of the sunset series and we still need a patrol boat helm and race officer. If you are trained up then please volunteer via Dutyman in good time.

Rowing Race Night

Thank you to everyone that made our second race night of the summer a great success.

Initially there were smiles when some thought the course was shorter due to launching from a different slip. This quickly turned to groans when no such leniency was shown 😁. Three strong heats and a hard fought final saw John, Daniel and Josh take the trophy. Well done chaps. Fish, chips and a beer finished off the evening brilliantly.

Look out for news on the August race night as everyone is welcome. If you haven’t rowed in a while or are new to rowing book in on an intro session via the email below. There’s still time before the August event to get race ready. Of course if you’d prefer to just eat supper and cheer us on that would also be great.

Waiting for the Tide

It looks to be a busy weekend for cross Solent swimmers, with events on both Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th. The QHM LNtM are here and here. A little closer inshore, so likely mostly out of the way, there is the Southsea Rowing Club Regatta on the 17th, details here. Links to the Langstone, Chichester and Portsmouth LNtM pages are below in the Useful Links section.

The events section is looking pretty packed for the coming week, and if you want to see what is a little further down the line you can check the Tudor website Social Calendar and Activities Calendar sections. A few additional ideas were also circulated on Monday, so let the relevant people know if you are interested so they know. I will just pull from that email on event that is coming up this weekend:

Sword Sands Picnic – Family Paddle

This event is for all club members, feel free to join us in a tender, dinghy SUP, windsurfer, gig or cruiser on Sword Sands, the more the merrier!

Just bring a picnic, something to drink and even games for a fun couple of hours on the best beach in the harbour! Please be aware that it is going to be mildly breezy so even in the sunshine it can get chilly.

To let the organisers know you are coming please ‘book’ using Webcollect.

As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address. No need to be feeling isolated and cut off from the world to do so, it is always nice to hear from members. Any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds would be most welcome.

Let’s be careful out there.
