Eleven boats took part in the Mini
Cruise (20/24 July) which was expertly organised by Jim Sey. The highlight of the trip was a dinner for 33 in Fuscias restaurant in St.Vaast. The trip in both directions was blessed by good weather although patches of mist on the return trip kept crews on their toes as they crossed the shipping lanes in poor visibility.

Ellen McArthur's trimaran passed us on the way home. Even motoring with sails furled she looked impressive. |

The entrance to Bembridge marina (where some returning boats spent the night on the way home). The channel markers looked impossibly close to the shore but no one ran aground. |
