Tall Ship Sorlandet

Webmaster — Tue, 15 May 2012 10:21:29 +0000

Members should have received their Bulletin by now and will have read our Treasurer’s article about his trip on the tall ship Sorlandet in which he mentioned that they were joined by Nicholas Crane and the BBC to film an item for new series of ‘Coast’. This was shown on BBC2 on Sunday 5th May (did I spy Terry hauling on a line there?). If you missed it you could catch up on BBC iPlayer or wait for the inevitable repeats.

Marine Traffic

Webmaster — Tue, 08 May 2012 15:07:25 +0000

We have come across a website that may be of interest to some of you – www.marinetraffic.com. is the ultimate in armchair voyaging. Here you can select a region and see what marine traffic is active, anchored, underway etc. You can also identify details of the vessel, its route and cargo and much more besides - enjoy!

Heybridge Lunch

Heybridge Lunch Meet, 29th October

We had a good turn-out of members at this extra meeting, arranged at relatively short notice at The Old Ship Inn, Heybridge Basin on the River Blackwater. We all enjoyed a wonderful lunch in good company on a mild and sunny autumn day, with a ringside seat to watch the comings and goings on the river. This is an event which it would seem worthwhile to repeat and possibly also arrange in other areas where members congregate.

Those present received their Autumn issue of the Bulletin, other members will receive theirs in the post shortly.
