Reminder
Not sure if anyone knows about this from Essex YC but I thought I’d pop it on here anyway!!

On Friday 10th July there is a ‘Sunset Swim’.

HW on the day is 21.16. The swim is from the EYC east slipway to the EYC distance mark and back at starting at around 20.15.

The ‘Sunset Swim’ is open to members of the EYC and LSC and anybody else who knows them. (Be aware there is no support boat cover.)

Not only is there the swim and hopefully a beautiful sunset but the EYC bar will be open and there is a promise of food. What more could any member ask for?

There will be a collection after the swim. All proceeds go to the Hanningfield Sailability Project which provides disabled people with the opportunity to sail.

It would be lovely to see you all at the EYC either with your swimming cap and cossie or without, as a spectator.

Swimmers and spectators assembling at the EYC from 19.30.
