My books would be

Magic of The Swatchways
Riddle of The Sands (I know it isn’t really EC, and it’s about a war, but it’s got the feel of EC cruising)
We Didn’t Mean to Go To Sea/Secret Water

Authors

Maurice Griffiths
Ransome
Alker Tripp (Particularly Under The Cabin Lamp)
FB Cooke (Particularly In Tidal Waters)
H L Jones
John Lewis (A Taste For Sailing)
C Stock
Ray Whitaker (Two and a Half Ton Dream)

I’m trying to find if there’s some EC cruising books I haven’t read, any suggestions?

Unforunately she did not capture the turn and raft up worthy of John Goode :cool:

Please let me know by PM as soon as you can where you want them posted so I can get the last ones out to you.

Thank you to everyone that has paid, especially for doing so so promptly, I really appreciate it.

Can I just mention that Will Patten is going to display the calendars in Chelmondiston PO and take orders in the Christmas run up then hopefully we'll get another batch printed for his customers. Thanks Will that's a great gesture and much appreciated. If anyone else wants to take the initiative and show the calendar in their local shop or PO and see if they'd like to get orders on a similar basis then let me know. There is another 30% discount out again so we can get another good price. :D

Cheers

I know this is probably the wrong area for such a question but I know that my fellow forumites will have a...cost efficient methodology (read cheap - I know you are not all cheap???)

My nice Navy blue sprahood has been left down for the last 6 weeks as I have been away on business (and forgot to put it back up before I left :( so it has gone a bit green in places). I have removed it from the boat today - thankfully the days sunshine has dried it out nicely. Having got it home I have also noticed how grubby the screen panels are as well.

Does anyone have any good tips to clean and preserve, perhaps reproof said item????

Stunning service by Kodak

They look slightly darker than the first run - comparing them side by side it looks like someone at Kodak has looked at it and said "hmm, a sunset calendar, let's enhance the reds and oranges a bit" so the colours are much deeper and richer this time.

Better get them shipped out then! :D

There's much being discussed on the local beer shops, where to light a barby and so on!

Anyone else here interested in joining up with us for some creek crawling please post here or pm me.
