Dressed Boat Parade - Sunday 29th August 2010

Posted by Lynn Beer on Saturday, August 21, 2010, In : sailing activities 
High Tide is during the day this year, so we'll be mustering at Gazen Salts at 1.00pm (BST). with the Parade through Sandwich Bridge and The Town starting at 1.15pm (bridge open 1.15-1.45pm).

Usually, we illuminate the boats, but this year, in daylight, we'll be dressing them. A "Carnival" theme has been suggested, but feel free to indulge your creative side!

Need to know more? Contact Colin Carr, Sandwich Harbour Master mobile: 0795 837 6183
