........KINGSBRIDGE ESTUARY BOAT
CLUB ... ... ...".....there is
nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats."
The
Club is well supported by local
businesses (and some from further a
field) that provide us with advertising
revenue and, in most cases, discounts on
boating gear. Members are requested to
use these businesses whenever possible
and show their membership cards when
asking for discount.

STROKES.
A member has asked us to publicise this
information.
A neurologist says that if he can get to
a stroke victim within 3 hours he can
reverse the effects of a stroke...TOTALLY!
RECOGNIZING A STROKE.
Doctors say a bystander can recognize a
stroke by asking three simple questions: S * .....Ask the
individual to SMILE. T * .....Ask the person
to TALK and SPEAK A
SIMPLE SENTENCE R* ......Ask him or her
to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE
of these tasks, call an emergency number
immediately and describe the symptoms to
the dispatcher. New Sign of a Stroke.
Sticking out Tongue. If
the tongue is 'crooked' i.e. if it goes
to one side or the other, that is also an
indication of a stroke.
Jim Pratt has
sent in a picture of his Mitchell
23 "Kopela". It will be
added to the gallery of members'
boats (click HERE).
Click on photo to supersize. If
you would like your boat added,
just send an image to boats@kebc.co.uk
Following the
successful and most enjoyable
naming ceremony on 19 June 2010

Estuary's first solar powered
boat, she was captured on video
breaking the 6 knot speed limit.

the Shrimper, in the Estuary. It
was sailed from Falmouth to
Kingsbridge by its new owner Ian
Goodwill last month.
