CBYA Visit to the Isle of Wight 27th June – 1st July 2019
Julie Benneworth mooted the idea of this excursion and, together with CBYA Vice-Chairman Neil Robertson, and partner, Vicki Dryden-Wyatt, organised a super four-night CBYA trip to the Isle of Wight for the Round the Island Race. Eleven of us lodged at the Royal London Yacht Club, thanks to Neil/Vicki’s membership there.
On the first day we had lunch at the RORC, and in the evening Neil/Vicki invited us to their lovely house for cocktails, together with some of their local friends, prior to all going for fish and chip dinner at the Island Sailing Club.
Many Thanks from Tricky D!

I hope everyone enjoyed a great night. For me, it was the best 70th Birthday party ever!
Thank you all for your good wishes… to those who made it on the night, and to those who could not.
The presents were amazing – thank you all.
Please take care and I hope to see you soon on the water.
My love and best wishes to you all.
