Photos from COMRADE's sailing trips during 2011:

                                                                       July 16 - Ancholme to Brigg                                                                      

With a weather forecast of strong winds and heavy rain for several hours, it was decided the that a trip up the River Ancholme would be the best course of action for novice sailing party the 'Beverley Ukuladies'.

One day later, with improved weather conditions, we motored out of South Ferriby, hoisted the sails along the inside channel of Read's Island and sailed off down the Humber. Photographers Sue and Harold Thompson followed our progress in the early stages of our journey.
