By all accounts the Tollesbury trip was a resounding success. Not the sailing section you understand, but the evening hot buffet. This you must realise is not Bradwell Cruising Club but Bradwell Cuisine Club. Ten members enjoyed a well prepared and presented meal but only one boat braved the short crossing of the Blackwater, that being Saltpetre, skippered by Peter and crewed by Mike.

The weather mainly was responsible, but our resident Lord Nelson, (Stuart that is) he of only one good eye, devised another excuse. My advice would be to read the instructions first and not use the full contents of a tube of superglue when only a minute drop is required.
