All,

A punt has been arranged to carry passengers to and from the pier at Portsalon on Saturday.  First pick up scheduled for 2pm.The price for a round trip is 5 Euro pp.  

Again thanks to Gerry for arranging the set off times for the pursuit race.

Forecast not looking too bad.. winds NNW, 10-15kts with unbroken sun so don’t forget the factor 50!

See you at the start line @ 10am.

The Portsalon Bells to held next Saturday May 11th will be a Pursuit Race.

The format will be the same basis as previous Pint and Quart races which where great fun.

Ritchie has kindly agreed to organise the start times for each boat which will be published in advance once we have a clearer picture of expected weather for the day.

These races always bring out the fleet and we would certainly hope that everyone can get involved .

Due to the adverse weather conditions todays racing, due to start at 11:30am, has been cancelled. Hannah has blown us off today.

Please pass the word to your crew to save a wasted journey.
