Fireworks at Castle Cove. Friday 5th November

Please join us for our annual Fireworks display

 on Friday evening. There will be a small bonfire (small because it is COP week) followed by a pyrotechnic marvell orchestrated to music by our very own Jock.  Please bring your own music. There will be hot dogs available to buy and consume on the balcony while you gaze, open mouthed at the spectacle before you. 

Timetable.

3pm - Building the fire under the careful supervision of Michael John Abbott

5:30 - 6pm lighting of the bonfire - please bring your own sparklers

7 pm  - Let the fireworks begin.

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.

Sail4All - Man Overboard!!

Sail4All on Saturday 17 July (14.00 on the water) maintains July's "safety" theme for our confidence builders, with "Man Overboard" recovery. Please click on the  LINK  to open a short briefing on  the RYA's favoured Reach/Tack/Reach method for recovering a man overboard from a dinghy, and an excellent  video of Dame Shirley Robertson demonstrating the technique. Single-handers may think this doesn't apply to them; however, the technique does practise boat handling skills that often apply in other scenarios (e.g. coming alongside, picking up a mooring or even recovering gear that has fallen overboard). Sail4All remains a free sail on a non-race day with safety boat cover and beachmaster support. Full details of Sail4All and its embedded confidence builder themes may be found on the club website training page ( http://www.ccsc.org.uk/training ). Come and join us.
