Rescue
Boat from Clontarf Y&BC which came over to help out on the
day & our newly acquired Rescue Boat - Tornado Voyager
Some
of the Cruisers that sailed over to Sutton
& Coast Guard
Rescue came from Howth to offer their support for the occassion
Despite
strong winds 11 boats braved the elements and anchored in
Sutton Creek. One fearless crew made their way from Howth
despite difficulty gettting out of the harbour with the
northerly winds. We are very grateful to the Cruising Assocciation
of Ireland led by Derek Harris who came and supported us
despite encountering gusts of 30 knots in Dublin Bay as
they left the Liffey after their overnight cruise up the
river.
Many of our members and friends from Howth and other clubs
came by road to support our event. We were also joined by
4 members of the Coastguard Team and Clontarf Rescue who
have supported us on many occassions throughout the year.
As the afternoon progressed the winds died, the sun shone
and everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Over 200 people
including approx 30 helpers appreciated the wonderful barbeque
meal and a glass or two!
A huge thank you to all the helpers without whom this event
could not happen!
