Honfleur East coast Sailng Weekend to Foxes Ipswich 28/5/2022
The crew of four Alex, Andrew, Richard and John all turned up at about 18.30 Friday at Walton Yacht Basin at about 18.30 Friday 27/5. We treated ourselves to fish and chips that night before departing the following morning at about 10..00 at high tide when the gate opens. Before leaving we erected the club flag, commodores and vice commodores flag in a hopeful attempt to promote the club. We had a very pleasant trip up Foundry Reach and the Walton Channel in the sunshine with little wind.
These conditions continued all day although we did try to sail a bit up the Orwell but had to give this up as a bad job. We eventually docked at Foxes at about 16.00, had a beer before going over to the new bar restaurant where we met up with Stewart,Tanya,Paul and Denise, who had arrived by car. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable evening their and Stewart and Tanya came back to Honflleur for a Gin and Tonic with ice and lemon and finally 1 litre of Gin later we all retired.
