A leaden sky didn’t deter our intrepit sailors from joining the Commodore’s cruise to Strangford Sailing Club on Sunday 1st Sept.

At least 15 EDYC boats made the trip with a further group traveling to SSC by car.

In total over 65 adults and at least 10 children enjoyed the BBQ, some relaxation and chat. 

The children were later entertained with a variety of games.

As with last year Strangford Sailing Club were very hospitable with BBQs ready and the clubhouse open.

By 3.30 the tide was receding fast and it was a race to tidy the the BBQ area and get everyone back out to their boats before the quay became inaccessible to the RIB.

Once everyone was aboard it was a slow, thanks to the outgoing tide, but enjoyable return journey to our club.

During the afternoon a collection was made for the RNLI.
