Cruise in Company to Limekilns 2025

7th June 2025

A dreadful forecast of constant rain and no wind, but ten boats set out motor-sailing to Limekilns. And after refreshments at their excellent and hospitable clubhouse, we had a fine sail back on a southerly wind. And the rain didn’t arrive until we were ashore.

Thanks to Billy Fraser, Kerryanne Joyce, Rob Garner and Jim G for the photos
