KALESSIN OF ORWELL IS A 33FT WESTERLY STORM. IN 2006-8 WE SAILED HER DOWN TO PORTUGAL, INTO THE MED, AND HOME THROUGH THE FRENCH CANALS. IN 2011 WE EXPLORED BALTIC GERMANY AND DENMARK. AFTER SAM'S STROKE WE CRUISED GENTLY ON THE EAST COAST, THE NETHERLANDS AND BRITTANY, AND IN 2021 SAILED TO CORNWALL AND BACK. IN 2024, FOLLOWING SAM'S DEATH, CAMILLA IS UNDERTAKING A MEMORIAL ROUND-BRITAIN CRUISE

The six weeks at home was mainly memorable for being manically busy as I'd started work on the September magazine late and needed to finish early so members got it well before the Southampton Boat Show. Fortunately there was no pressure to go down to the boat for weekends as it was 250 miles away!

Sadly Bill Miller, who organised the whole ASC21 rally starting last October, died in early August. His lung cancer had spread to spine and brain and we feared when we saw him at Shotley that we might not see him again, but you always hope for the best.

Can't find a picture of Bill but here's his lovely boat Meltemi (a Storm Cruiser). RIP Bill
