KNYSNA NEWS - The sailing season is upon us once again and was welcomed in at the Knysna Yacht Club on Sunday 9 September with much fun and celebration.
Following a week of torrential rain and winter chill there was fear of a possible postponement, but the forces were in favour and a day of sunshine and fair sailing followed.
The traditional sail past and Commodore salute started at 15:00 and included an impressive fleet of dinghies, catamarans, and canoes ably supported by the NSRI and Knysna Sea Cadets.
On the dignitary boat kindly provided by the Knysna Yacht Company, they were privileged to host the mayor, among others, accompanied by the skirl of the pipes from members of the Knysna Pipe Band.
The sailing was followed by a feast of tea, cake and savoury snacks in the main clubhouse, and all who participated went home full and satisfied after a memorable day.
