Horse & Jockey Rally - Croc' spotting in the upper reaches.
in Cruising News & Reports
|
 |
| High summer on July 4th, saw the R. Southerns' annual quest up the Limpopo……..sorry, Hamble, for an unlikely glimpse of the occasional wilderbeast or crocodile in the upper reaches. |
| Twenty-eight intrepid souls set off in a variety of open craft headed by the Club launch suitably re-named the "African Scream" and piloted by veteran white (haired) hunter 'Humphrey Stobart' and guided by our esteemed leader, 'Audrey Heartburn' aka Angus and Annette. |

Exbury Rally May 2008
in Cruising News & Reports
|
 |
Having retired in 2001 and then sailed across the Atlantic to spend five years cruising, this RSrnYC Rally to Exbury was our first opportunity to sail mid-week with the Club.
What a delight it proved to be……….
We actually started off for this on the previous weekend by joining up with the Pontoon Party at Yarmouth, sadly it was a windless weekend but Pontoon Parties are notorious and this one did not fail to match up! |

Welcome Back Adrian Flanagan
in Cruising News & Reports
|
 |
| HMS Trumpeter and several yachts and motorboats carrying family and friends met Adrian and his 40ft yacht Barrabas at East Bramble mark and accompanied him up the River Hamble to the Royal Southern Yacht Club, where a crowd of people was waiting on the dockside. |
| Mrs Annette Newton, Commodore of the Royal Southern Yacht Club, welcomed Adrian to Hamble. “We have all been amazed at your determination and tenacity” she said, “and we would like to make you an honorary member of the club for the next year”. |
| Website Editor Note: As Adrian was not actually racing we put this article in "Cruising" but to call his voyage a cruise would be the understatement of the year. |

Ladies Afloat - April Report
in Cruising News & Reports
|
|
|
| Oh ye of little faith! After what originally appeared to be a non-starter due to bad weather, the first Ladies Afloat outing of the season turned out to be a resounding success! |
| Despite the gloomy skies, rain & notwithstanding one or two earlier cancellations, a larger group than usual turned up in the upper bar of the Club at our pre-declared meeting time of 10:00 hrs. We chatted, looked glumly out of the window, drank some coffee, commiserated with one another, drank some more coffee and held a straw poll of intentions which varied from "definitely not" to "well, possibly" |

Lymington Mid Week Rally Report 16th-17th April
in Cruising News & Reports
|
 |
It was a good sail in sunshine with a strong ebb tide and the entrance to the Lymington suddenly appeared on the bow marked by the exit of the ferry.
We motored up the river squeezing between the moored yachts, the ferry and the racing dinghies. I just wonder what is going to happen if they allow the larger ferries to plough between Lymington and Yarmouth. |
