End of Sailing Course Dinner

Our sailing course has come to an end (sob, wail & lamentations). Here a few photos I took last Friday, on our last trip out - it was extremely calm, so we didn't get very far.

This is the view from the NYC landing, Dun Laoghaire west pier alongside

Helping out with the rigging...

The Toppers setting out for their race

...and our sister 1720 yacht

Carole at the helm

Cian, our adventurous nstructor

I'm laughing because we're not actually going anywhere!

...and the most glamorous new member

Afterwards we had a sit-down dinner in the sailing club, where Alan the Rear Commodore made a speech

This is Neil, another of the instructors. Today I saw him walking down the street in Dun Laoghaire with a leggy blonde (just in case anyone was wondering.....)

The good news is they're running a follow-on course in August, so we'll be signing up for that, and may be give the Toppers a go...
