24/11/2019 Another sighting of Dave, Danny or maybe Douglas. From Leigh Merrick Click on the image
![]() I have a shot of Dave the Dolphin (attached) who nudged Fusion III twice this season inside the marina and we thought we could have some fun with it at the AGM.
Whilst Dave may claim under ROR that he was engaged in fishing (so we shd have kept clear), we contend he was guilty of half a dozen ROR infringements. Here is a challenge put out by Leigh as interpreted by WSA "I would be happy to provide a bottle of whisky for the first AGM respondent to spot, say, three infringements plus an appropriate latin motto for such a bounder." By WSA Leigh may be given leave by the Branch Chairman to explain further at the AGM as I could not quite fully understand Leigh's intention. I think ROR in this case is Rule of Road. However an example for Dave(Taken from a suggestion by Leigh) could be "Drunken fool carries no steaming light" Motto=Ebrius Fatuus Subvectus Nullus Fumidus Lux So come along to AGM to see if you could win some Whisky. Hope I have done this right for you Leigh. regards Brendan.WSA |
George Herbert Leigh Mallory was an English mountaineer who took part in the first three British expeditions to Mount Everest, in the early 1920s. Wikipedia
Following a call from Leigh Merrick today 29/11 we joked about how I first addressed him as Lee. He was kind enough to explain the correct spelling of his name. Apparently Leigh's family knew George MalIory and so they named Leigh after him. I told Leigh that his efforts would not be in vane and so this is a small tribute to you for your input. Sadly Leigh cannot make it tonight at the AGM 2019. Thankyou Leigh. Chairman will cover this.

Following update from Leigh this idea was shelved and requested the Chairman to make an award to someone for special effort. So the Bottle of Whisky has gone to Christopher Stonehouse for his work and support to NL75.

On Sunday the 28th July the RNLI celebrated this milestone by a grand parade of sail and craft of all types. Our new member Gareth Peaston has done a fantastic job in promoting this event. Not an easy task considering all the authorities involved. I know that Jean Claire took part and I understand that Nerea also took part. Heatwave was stood down as a little too blowy for the first mate. In a way I'm glad as I was able to capture about 90% of the boats that took part. Battery went flat on phone. Well done to Gareth and all those who took part.
Pam and I enjoyed a really tasty Breakfast at the IVY Cafe and afterwards went along to the RNLI station for a chat. Later we enjoyed a Bennett's special where I tucked into a "War Time" favorite of a SPAM fritter. We were fortunate that we had to wait for the Bridge before making our way home and we met an RNSA member in a Cornish Shrimper(Humbug). I gave him our Web site and recommended he joined us. I didn't ask for his name but I have researched him from the Central Site by his boat name. From this I have updated our Web Site to access the Craft list Direct. We were just about to leave when three Jet Skis came past and the lead craft rider started to gestulate to his port side. Suddenly a broad back with dark grey dorsal fin broke the water. I called to Pam but it was gone. However we watched as the Skis went on down the Harbour and the Dolphin again broke the surface on the starboard side of the lead craft. As they were turning just by the visitor moorings the beautiful creature came up between the two craft to half its length. Its body appearing just as a huge black bottle with the sun glinting off its nose. Danny made a guest appearance. Navigation controls for images. Pause Top Left. Skip Top Right. 190 images. |

Ian Singleton had spent 10 years building Cloe James and after a couple of years decided to sell her. However he has now purchased another vessel called Lime Juicer. The name coming from our American cousins when British sailors were given Lime Juice to keep out scurvy. He is now cleaning her up near Bristol. Click on Photos.

29/05/2019 Heatwave shakedown. 22 May 2019.
Took spare main battery with me as engine not started since Ist of April. Pam shown how to start engine and as always it fired up. I use mobile scooter batteries kindly donated by my neighbour. Weymouth was the target and so we set off in fine weather. Propulsion fine. The bag of knitting of my experimental lazy jacks caused me a lot of trouble in batten fouling and this needs to be look at. However the jacks work very well in getting the sail down. Still have to work out how to include the sail cover so more research on youtube but boat is seaworthy with working VHF so ok for MUPE. Tender and Outboard ok but Outboard needs some fine tuning to make it start easier. The photos have been produced from a Samsung Galaxy S5 which has a high definition Camera however some processing is still neceassary but the results are very good. Only problem is keeping the camera still and avoid shake. Click on the photos.

30/04/2019 Land Slip Portland (A tribute to our Branch Secretary)
During a committee mtg a long time ago I had to apologize for being tardy on getting something done and offered a lame excuse that I was dealing with a land slip at the time which somewhat amused our Secretary. So in tribute to him I have compiled an Album of the work I have done. I am just about finished now and it was hard. You may see the work if you wish by clicking on

22/03.2019 E 8 Mooring for Heatwave.
A few photos to show the compliance to Mooring Secretary's directive. Note the heavy protection around the eye of the rope strop. I used hot glue to cover the exposed rope. It worked fine last year and did not fully bond to the nylon rope and did not melt the rope. This procedure is not a recommendation by me. The choice is a personal matter. No chaffing occurred. The loop tie left by John was untieable and used it to hold the tender next to the riser buoy. It is now left tied to the chain strop. The bitter end of my rope strop is tied to the Pickup buoy(My own preference). Gives a better chance for first time pick up. Both strops are pulled aboard together and then separated for mooring to boat cleat.

Michael has produced some stunning high quality photos for the Gallery and provides some good material for our Journal submission. Chairman, one for you to pick up. The story starts with a lovely sunset from Ripples mooring then we see an easterly adventure followed by a westerly jaunt into the cold expanse of Lyme Bay. Here in a small boat you get quite a sensation of forboding when skies are dark and the seas growley. Thank you Michael for your work.

Saving Private Eddy 21/7/18. Brendan Moore. Sadly due to no interest this year this trip was not taken up officially but it worth saving. As yet I have not fully ridden the eddy properly and got stuck in foul tide. So a detailed course has been added below for another attempt next year.
20/07/2018 Introduction of Chloe James.
From the following of Chloe James initial 10 year build at Ferry Bridge by Ian Singleton I have waited and nagged Ian to get her full Sailing Rig up and tested. Well the waiting is over and with the help of Janet (Ian's wife) and David Clark Williams Ian has now achieved in getting this magnificent vessel dressed in her finest and I congratulate you. A heartfelt well done. She looks fabulous.
19 July 2018. Moonraker Passage West (addendum to Lyme Bay Cruise Brixham and Lyme Regis. 30th May 2018.Report and Photos by Jason Hook) Click on the Photos.
On our passage across Lyme bay with no real deadline we occasionally switched the engine off tacked accordingly and sailed to enjoy the available wind.
We arrived in Brixham to be met by Chris, Alan & Wayne, rafting up to them on a very busy visitors pontoon. We accepted a kind offer from Chris aboard Gwendoline Grace of pre dinner nibbles & beverages then we went off for a walk around the harbour.
Sunday 24th Destination - Salcombe. Departed Brixham 0830 we decided to enjoy the south easterly wind and sailed across Torbay heading for Torquay marina. Fabulous sail lots of yachts out enjoying the weather.

We left Dartmouth on Tuesday morning close to 0900, it was idyllic in the estuary & then as we came out into the open sea, bag we were hit by an easterly wind & waves.. we looked at one another, 43nm of this, no chance, we tacked & headed for shelter towards Torbay, the sea state settled the further north we sailed & once again we had a great sail back towards Portland Bill.
We rounded the Bill just as the tide was easing.. lumpy but safe!!!
Steve & I would like to thank Chris Stonehouse for organising the trip to Brixham, its been great for us as we've often gone around the Bill but never ventured further West.. Now we know Torbay is easily reached within a day.

Report and photos by Chris Stonehouse (Sailing Secretary)
Lyme Bay Cruise to Brixham and Lyme Regis 2018
Status: Success. Light winds, favourable tides and clear skies greeted the participants on Saturday 23rd June, the first day of the cruise, and lasted through the weekend and beyond. Flexibility in planning proved the name of the game, with Alan Clifton leaving his yacht behind to join Wayne Elkins in “Casey”. They accompanied us in “Gwendoline Grace” throughout a shortened 3 day cruise, whilst Steve Lowe and Jason Hook "Moonraker" joined us on the leg to Brixham before sailing on to Salcombe and returning the following Wednesday. Despite a lack of space on the events pontoon in Brixham, we all enjoyed pre-dinner drinks on board “Gwendoline Grace" in the evening sun. Our sail across to Lyme Regis on the Sunday was not only memorable for England’s success in sporting events but proved to be the highlight of the cruise. We received a warm welcome from the Harbour Master’s team in Lyme Regis and “Casey” was able to stay moored up at the summer pontoons overnight in the calm conditions. The return to Portland was hampered by very light winds but the sun shone to ensure we had a fitting end to a memorable cruise.

Musketeer Channel Islands Adventure 14th -18th May 2018
Musketeer Westerly Storm
Where would be an interesting place to visit, offer challenging sailing and opportunities to practise a bit chart work? It did not take long to figure the Channel Islands would offer all of these. I mentioned it to my old friend Colin who leapt at the chance. It was not long before I had an able crew with my father in law Keith and Cousin Robert and local Dorset friend John joining. It was also the first big trip I was about to embark on as skipper. I undertook chart preps a few days before departure and kept a close eye on weather conditions, which as it turned out tended to be excellent throughout the week. Our boat was “Musketeer” a Westerly Storm built in 1988, old but trust worthy.
THE TEAM
THE TEAM
We slipped our berth on the 14th May early on cool morning NE F4. After a course to steer drawn to Shambles East cardinal marker we then crossed the Channel. It was a broad reach initially and the crossing was made in glorious sunshine. The Shipping lanes were crossed uneventfully and it was not long after passing Eastward Shipping Lane that France appeared on the horizon. Unfortunately wind shifted slightly so we were almost in a training run which meant some gybing. As we approached Cherbourg it was apparent the strength of the tides was going to keep us on our toes.

It was springs but we managed a reasonable course through the West opening to Cherbourg Harbour. You could see the effects of the tide on nearby buoys near the entrance which was being well tugged. We finally came in to the Marina having run 77 miles. Entering Cherbourg Harbour with the impressive tide pressing against port hand channel marker
Next day our target was Braye, Alderney. The wind was North West F3 and the initial run was good up to the Cap de la Hague. We then had the Alderney Race to cross which we managed, quite a challenge with sea pouring south and it created the most odd wave pattern. We managed to crab slowly over to pick up a North Easterly eddy and past Alderney light house and it was not long after we sighted Braye. We picked up on the spire transit and followed channel in securing ourselves on to the visitors’ moorings and then used the dinghy and outboard to visit Braye. For medicinal purposes, of course, we all stopped for a beer at the local inn.

Overall an adventurous evolution with plenty of practise at pilotage and passage planning and an appreciation of the careful working of the tides, rock avoidance using transits, back bearings and of course GPS.
My thanks go to my crew and the members of the RNSA such as Simon and John who have given me some sterling advice prior to setting off. Also, for the help from friends who were good crew and company and putting the excellent photos capturing the trip.

02nd June 2018 MOONRAKER Two Bays in a Day. Story and photos from Jason Hook. Click on the photos.

Then around 1400BST we headed to Lulworth again catching the tide.
Lulworth was extremely busy with boats anchored everywhere, still we've learnt to motor in, take a look around & find a suitable spot to anchor, remembering that the almanac tells use Lulworth is renowned for anchor slippage...
What a delightful Cove.
Sadly by 1730BST 3kts of wind & against the tide we motor sailed back to Portland two contented sailors having experienced blue skies all day..
There's something magical about sailing the sea & that wonderful salty air I'm sure you will all agree.
Until the next time,
Jason Hook & Steve Lowe

& just as the sunset we arrived at the entrance of Newtown Creek.
It was full of anchored yachts (no surprise as the weather was fantastic over this Bank holiday weekend) this made our passage quite challenging at low water, great opportunity to test Moonraker latest addition, forward scan.
Here we were meeting our friends who were also our Day Skipper instructor from last year. They had motor sailed in at high tide & were right up in the creek at the far end where it was very shallow, I'm sure he did this just to test our nerve in shallow water.. oh well, here goes, we chose to motor sail & weave our way slowly & carefully through the centre channel of the anchored yachts. This proved effective until we slowly stopped & ploughed into the silt only to be told by the crew on the boat next to us they were also stuck & high tide was still 3hrs away.. we contacted our friends who advised us to reverse hard & continue up the creek keeping to the north channel. We did as advised & continued up the creek at the amazement of on lookers who were enjoying the entertainment we were giving. Arrived next to our friends where we rafted upto their boat for an amazing peaceful nights sleep.
