Dear Members
El-Commodore suggests we have a braai on the water to follow – what a great idea – the weather is looking perfect. We can raft up and have a royal picnic!! Dinghies, paddle skis, lilos, marina-boats, tenders also welcome!
The HBYC were treated to a one hour presentation by the very slick crew of the trimaran Energey Diet,this included film clips and charts of their previous two trips,plus a background of what the craft is all about.There was also an amazing (truly amazing) eight minute film clip taken as they sailed past Slangkop Light House but not on the outside of the reef,they were inside and sailing over it,straight through the Kelp! The arrival of Station Eights two NSRI boats was a good idea,disaster was a very possible event,the waves they were in were quite something.
NSRI were in good form too,they went close in with a rubber duck and put a young man on board Energy Diet,the crew knew they were in good hands then,the guy was also given a presentation as recognition of his performance at the time.
Here the boats captain,Anatoly, speaks in Russian,which was then followed by a translation in English by Jack (eugene k),the format was really well thought out and prepared,that one hour went all too fast for me.
To end off the presentation the four crew sang us their ships song,in Russian,the harmony was fantastic!
Thanks guys and have a good trip to Walvis Bay.

Dear Members
On Sunday our intrepid Russian explorers are leaving for Brazil on their amazing inflatable tri-maran! (their presentation last night was quite incredible)
We want to give a great traditional Hout Bay send-off and get our fleet on the water to see them off and wish them well. Bring your boats, flags and whistles, and as many guests as you can find!
See you there. 10:30 on the water. Sunday!
