2.Recent Trips

A summary of all trips reported at meetings is given here, or a full report, if available. Members reporting at a meeting are reminded that a full version of the report should be provided, either written or emailed. If this isn’t available, then only a short summary will be given in the newsletter. Full reports will be included in the next newsletter following receipt.

At the October meeting Jeff Birkin reported on the trip that replaced the planned cruise to the Scilly Isles, and Bob Buchanan on his trip which replaced a planned cruise to the Channel Islands – both affected by stormy weather. These reports follow, with one by Sue Fowle on a midweek sail from Plymouth skippered by Gordon – Sue was unable to present it at the meting as she was still on her way home from sailing in Croatia.
