TRIP REPORTS

July 1986

Click on a picture to see a bigger version with a caption

This was a Thames Barge Sailing Club members' weekend, making a passage from Ipswich to Hoo. I don't remember who most of my fellow crew-members were. This was my first trip I made with the TBSC, and the only time Wendy has come with me on a club weekend, although she has subsquently come on on of my charters.
