🌅 The Longest Day – Friday 20th June ☀️
Another magical evening down on the lawn as we watched the sun set on the longest day of the year. The cadets made the most of the light, sailing out the creek and out past the Fairway buoy – a celebration of summer at the Royal Vic. ⛵️🌊
These evenings remind us why being a part of the RVYC is so special – for new and old hands, it’s all part of the rhythm of life at the club.
Here’s to many more long nights, good sailing, and golden skies! 🥂🌇
