I am prompted by the JSSTC thread to reminisce about the halcyon sailing days (started in late 80s for me) in the Baltic from Kiel. Did we know how lucky we were I wonder? Lots of sailing in and out of harbours/marinas with engines kept very much in reserve . As a latecomer from the RYA dinghy world, my first tutor skipper for the Baltic/RYA ticket on board Kranich was the estimable (and young Cpl) Baz Ennels. He took no prisoners and had no problems in exercising authority over those a long way up the military ladder ( me included ?). I last saw him when BKYC closed. Much missed. CBT
