Big Boat Cruising
Of the millions of people in Britain who go sailing or motor-boating each year, many choose the relaxation of cruising. Once afloat, there are no cars, next-door neighbours or telephones to worry about. To avoid the problems of buying and keeping a boat, some people join a sailing club. For a week in early May, Martin Muncaster followed the crew of the Island Cruising Club's schooner Hoshi to France and the Channel Islands. The club members came from all walks of life, and varied from hardened sea-dogs to complete beginners.
