Our
after Dinner Speaker, from the Royall Corithian Yacht Club, is Anne
Heasley who with husband Arthur as 'foredeck
hand' chose last summer to bring their Swan 40 'Star Swan' back from
the Canaries via the Azores to their home port of Burnham on Crouch
after five years away.
Their
stories include visiting an undeveloped Canary Island, meeting Blue
Marlin fishers in Madeira, single handers and bubbling volcanos in the
Azores. A memorable moment was when, in huge seas, a few ropes snarled
up the mast and the foredeck hand called out, 'Hand me the carving knife
...'. Come and hear the full story. Booking
