The November meeting at the RNA W G City was given in person by Jeremy Batch from the Cruising Association.
The topic was :-
Going boldly: across, beneath and beyond the ocean by Jeremy Batch.

The meeting was very well attended and included some external guests from a local diving club.

Jeremy provided a very high tech and entertaining presentation that gave the answers to the following questions.

• What sort of lifejackets did the ancient Egyptians wear,
• and what did the Inuit carry on the back of their kayaks?
• How did the Assyrians manage to swim in full armour
• and when did we first learn to breathe underwater?
• How have we (almost) overcome scurvy?
• How did the shipworm help Marc Brunel drive a tunnel under the Thames?
• How did the tomato worm and the Playtex company help 12 men to walk on the moon
• and what will the next generation of space suits and diving suits look like?
