Mission Actions:
We arrived around 0830, & finding B2 ( Bruce Stevens ) had already arrived. A lot of rubbish was in the pond, mainly duck feathers, tree foliage & general rubbish, which generally get blown in. Very little wind to worry about, although it changed directions during the morning to come in from the North, which pushed all this rubbish over to our berthing positions, as will be seen in some of the photo’s. Wrapped up early, due to the increasing temperatures. Handed out a New Member application as I was about to leave.
Cheers,
Jim
