Christmas Cruise Planning - (27 Dec - 10 Jan)

We are still planning for a Christmas Cruise to Lake Macquarie, however there are still ongoing problems over dredging of the entrance channel to sufficient depths. Reliable sources have confirmed that a contract has been awarded and dredging will commence in time to clear a channel for the October long weekend If further investigations are not able to confirm that sufficient depths can be guaranteed in the channel, a backup plan will be to organise a cruise to Jibbon Beach in Port Hacking. Final details of both options will be advised later.

A 'Cruise Coordinator' flag

On every Club cruise you will be able to identify the Cruise Coordinator (Leader) boat as it will be flying the "L" flag. Whether in a bay, 'down the creek' or on the open sea the "L"flag will be prominent.

When attending all Club cruises please have your radio on and tuned to Ch16/77 so that you hear of any changes to cruise plans. The Cruise Coordinator will use Ch77 'calling all Alfreds Yachts' . If you have any doubts about a cruise going ahead please check with the Cruise Coordinator or with Reception.

Members are reminded to fly their Club burgee at all Club on water cruising events. A burgee is available for purchase at Reception.
