With the cruisers having swapped places with the dinghies can i remind you of the standard Marina Etiquette for all Halyards to be fastened away from the mast. This will ensure a more peaceful boatpark without the clanging and continue the goodwill from our neighbours.

Ian Kennedy passed away yesterday morning after a long and painful illness.
A true “Ian day” with clear blue sky and a lovely sailing breeze was a fitting tribute from the weather.
I knew Ian in his post sailing days and enjoyed many times with him catching the sunshine and peace in a lovely part of the world being Thorpe Bay Beach and that is how i shall hold my memories.
Ian being one of the longest serving members of Thorpe Bay Yacht Club always took a very keen interest in its affairs and was alway able to help with the history of members and events.
Thoughts are with the family and especially Margaret who has seen far too much pain and suffering and been a real saint.
once funeral details are known i shall let you know.

Peter Thompson Commodore
