Brian Clough and Andrew Obst on their boat Alice are arranging an East Coast Rally on the River Blackwater over the Early May Bank Holiday weekend (Saturday 4th – Monday 6th May).
THE PLAN
Saturday 4th May
Boats and crew should make their way to Bradwell Marina for the Saturday evening for either a BBQ or a visit to the nearby Green Man (to be confirmed).
Sunday 5th May
Boats and crew to enjoy a short morning sail up the Blackwater to anchor off Osea Island for the night, and tender ashore for a BBQ on the beach.
Tides are approximately HW 9.15am and 9.38pm on the 4th, and 11.07am and 11.24pm on the 6th May. The idea is that more distant sailors can make it in daylight, whilst also enabling everyone to make it back in one tide from the anchorage off Osea Island (including those from the Medway.
Please register your interest in attending by emailing bclough53@gmail.com as soon as possible, so that a group booking can be made with the marina. Thank you.
