So spring had almost arrived the clocks hadn’t quite changed but the days were definitely getting longer and thoughts of getting on the briny were starting to awaken in the hearts of the fair weather sailing fraternity. We salute those weather beaten hardened sailors amongst club members whose knarled knuckles never let go of the frosty tillers throughout the darkened winter months. The rest of us looked forward to the launch of the season with the “Skippers and Crew” annual gathering.
Letter from your New Commodore
Dear Friends,
I think it is right that we should give a hearty thanks and congratulations to all of those who organised the AGM and the laying up supper on Sunday the 8th November.
I know that you were able to entice a substantial number of members who have not been along to a club event for some time and that clearly is encouraging in the hope that they had not forgotten about us and will come along to other future events. The feedback from the evening was such that I believe everybody enjoyed it and was able to swap old sea stories with each other and catch up on their latest experiences. Read the rest…
Britain’s only Sailing Club of Jewish Affinity and Friendship cruised through its AGM and 20th Anniversary Laying Up Dinner in great style last week with an attendance of 90 past and present members, including 3 of the original founders and a 4- week old baby! .
Nanae & Phil were delighted to cross the Fastnet Race finishing line after Just over 123 hours and 695 miles of sailing. You can read about their race in more detail on the Space Race website.
Shemesh means Sunshine in Hebrew, and when Frank and Carole arrived finally in Israel some 5 years and 3 months after they left Chatham in 2004, that's exactly what they found… loads and loads of it.
Having started out the Odyssey in July 2004, Frank and Carole sailed over 7,000 miles and stopped in tens and tens and tens of interesting ports through out the Med.
Happily, and by good fortune and timing, Rear Commodore Sandy and husband Avi were in Israel when the call came through that Shemesh had finally made landfall. They got over to see them at the earliest opportunity and with great hugs and back slapping we were able to take the valedictory photos you see here.
Many, many congratulations Frank and Carole; you have realized your dream.
Now lets have some lines for Wavelength and the web about your adventures along the way.
Read Stanley's verses describing the HSSC September flotilla to the Southern Adriatic…..
CROATIA 2009 Twelve sailors, trusty and true from the High Seas Sailing Club set out from the Marina in Dubrovnik to experience the Adriatic and the friendly natives. For the first 48 hours the winds blew virtually unceasingly and when they did in fact stop for a couple of hours, we thought that was that. 
Not so! They picked up again so much that mooring or anchoring in a safe place was really quite difficult. There are not that many sheltered bays several miles out from Dubrovnik. Read the rest…
Welcome back Steve and Yamma, after twice crossing the Atlantic, cruising the Caribbean, the Eastern Seaboard, and much much more, we are so happy to have Steve Moss back safe and sound.
