Bembridge Family Weekend
Each year Duver Marina organise a Families Fun Weekend. A number of events are laid on and there is a rage of food and drink available. We went for the first time last year and we have booked 8 berths for this year. Three places have already been booked (Purrfect Tale, Claribel and Tamarisk) and 5 are currently available. I may be able to increase by a further two, depending on demand.
The intent is to sail across on Friday and come back either Sunday. Tides are favourable:
- Friday Portsmouth HW 1246 (Entry for 2m keel from 1000hrs 1600hrs)
- Saturday HW 1332 (Entry for 2m keel from 1030hrs 1630hrs)
- Sunday HW 1419 (Departure for 2m keel from 1130hrs 1730hrs)
There is a boat dressing competition not all need to take part but if you are a heads up on the theme. 2025 is the 350th Anniversary of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London the Home of Time where the Greenwich Meridian can be found (King Charles II founded the Royal Observatory in 1675!). Whether its Big Ben, the White Rabbits pocket watch from Alice in Wonderland, the Noon Day Gun, tea-time, story-time, Dr Who … wherever your imagination takes you, we hope youll enjoy thinking up some great ideas for boat decorating and fancy dress at the Family Fun Weekend …
More details will be posted once Bembridge have finalised the programme.
The remaining 5 berths are being held for the RSrnYC until end of month.
