That Ketchup Bottle situation

I heard an expression on Match of The day this morning which was, " This is a ketchup bottle situation."  It refers to a situation where nothing happens for a long time then it comes all at once. To avoid an unfortunate stain on the breakfast tablecloth the Castle cove committees have been working hard to make sure that everything is in place to benefit from the enthusiasm and activity that is about to be released. So, Welcome to the new sailing season. That feels great to say. After all the frustration of the past 12 months it looks like we are going to get a great season of sailing activity. We have a full programme of racing, cruising and training activities which will hopefully enable you to find something that you can join in with and enjoy. The programme will be published in the handbook but it is also available from the link on the website. As you will see it is a full calendar but let me give you some of the highlights.

Sand removal at Castle Cove Sailing Club

Image
  Sand removal at Castle Cove Sailing Club The sand removal project was successfully completed as planned 29 th and 30 th March 2021. Sand had built up over a number of years in the area used to launch keelboats from the Club, to the point that some boats could no longer be launched or recovered.   Something had to be done! Planning had started in January 2021 and permissions obtained from the MMO, Natural England, SSSI Consent and Portland Harbour Authority. The weather on the project days was perfect. Additional projects were completed repairing the surface of the Club car park.   The digger was used on the car park while the tide was too high to work on the beach.   This made the best use of the hire of the digger and its operating crew.
